The Court is America’s constitutional Achilles heel and would stay so even if it had to be repopulated every two Presidential terms.

The Bork Amendment, which provides for a supermajority of Congress to be able to nullify any court decision, allows for one safety valve there. The late Scalia knew of the problem and lamented it worse than any policy the court might come up with.

Of course. I did not mean to imply that term limits are all that is necessary. I believe the 17th Amendment should be repealed. I think we also need a State Repeal Amendment (similar to The Bork Amendment but without Congress being involved); a balanced budget/revenue limit amendment; perhaps others.
