When was the last time that an amendndment was passed to override a supreme Court decision? That would be the 14th Amendment, which overrode Dred Scot,and this is after a civil war and with the Southern states represented by carpet-bag regimes under the thumb of a rump Congress.

Oh, I forgot There WAS the amendment that gave Congress the power to impose a progressive income tax after a 1894 decision of the Court overturned an act of Congress incorporating such a tax.

So then your solution is to amend the Constitution through judicial activism. How conservative of you.
