It requires no rewording. Only a congress with backbone. The congress may tell the supremes what is out of bounds. That is in the current constitution. It is ignored only by habit and custom, but the congress can put bounds on the supremes.

Yes. You are correct. However, may I refer you to the portion of my comment where I cast doubt on the prospect of congress ever agreeing to limit its own power?

If they will not, then only the States can - and I think it can only be done via more simple, direct language in the document itself.

I know, I know. Who would ever have thought that the simple, direct language of the original document would not be simple or direct enough? But remember, we're talking here about politicians who have either been elected to congress or who have been appointed to their judicial position by a politician - they're not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. SIMPLE commands will be the most effective.
