[Political Junkie Too]

Your plan would never work.

Are you saying that it is easier to amend the Constitution than it is to get Congress to debate the use of its own powers?

Even if it doesn't result in Congress reorganizing the Judiciary, perhaps the debate itself would scare the bench into being less activist for fear of their jobs.

What does it take to start the debate? Is it enough for Tom DeLay and some other Representatives to introduce a bill?

In your plan, you are advocating that the President choose new judicial nominees to replace the others...they can't get the ones confirmed that are nominated now because of the Dems blocking them (see the article I linked to previously). How would that change in this situation? The Dems would love your plan...they could block nominations 'til the cows come home, the courts would be so backed up that nothing would get done. It just doesn't make sense to go that route.
