Might be time for Congress to make some Exceptions or Regulations. Checks and Balances and that sort of thing.

The Court would just find the Exceptions and Regulations to be unconstitutional. Only a Constitutional amendment can overrule them. That and the exercise of the second amendment, but I don't think we are quite there.....yet.

Constitutional change is needed to reign in the Courts. Probably remove the lifetime appointment clause for Supreme Court Justices and other federal judges. I'd have them appointed, with advice and consent, but then make them stand election for "continuance", as is done in at least one state.

And how could they do that, when that precise phrase is written into the Constitution?
