Another thing that is needed is an ammendment allowing for the states to be able to overturn Supreme Court decisions. I think that if 3/4ths of the state legislatures vote to overturn a Supreme Court decision within two years of its being issued, that Supreme Court decesion should be null and void.

That's basically what a constitutional ammendment does now. The only way the States have of acting in unison on an issue is through Congress (Senate represents the States, House of Representatives represents the people).
