I want Congress to have the right to override a supreme court decision---make it a super majority vote---but we need to make this a reality.

That's not a bad idea. However sometimes it's not Congress' ox that is being gored by the Supreme Court. It's often the states or the people's ox, and Congress usually benefits by getting yet more power over the States and the people.

I think I'd like your Super-majority override combined with a system where the Judges and Justices stand for "continuation" every 4 or 6 years. In states where this is done for state judges and Supreme Court justices, the vast majority are continued in office, if for no other reason than no one has even heard of them. However the really bad apples are occasional removed.

Here's my concern: anything less than a lifetime appointment turns the high court into a political football; one that's in "play" way too often.

A high court that can be overturned by the will of the people through their elected officials, IMHO, would be the surest way to return the three branches of our government to coequals.

Right now, regardless of tenure, the Supreme Court and its decisions are untouchable.
