There is a solution. The one thing the Supreme Court cannot overrule is the Constitution itself (although they certainly interpret it loosely).

We can have a Constitutional Amendment that puts the ultimate power back on Congress. If Congress votes, in quorum, by a 2/3 majority (House and Senate independently) to overrule a Supreme Court decision, then it's overruled.

I think such an amendment would have a lot of support among the people.

I don't. Liberals know they can't enact their agenda democratically, so they enact it via the Courts. Thus, they will oppose any measure that actually puts power back in the hands of elected representatives. You'll never get your 2/3.
