actually i said that wrong. You should only amend the constitution to expand rights. And you don't deal with screwed up courts by amending the consittution. That's how we got in this mess in the first place.

The worst amendment of the constutituion is the one that said the senate was directly elected by the people and not by the statehouses. Why don't we repeal that one. And it would fix much of the countries ilks.

On this one, I agree. Not that it didn't have some downsides too. Our senate is pretty aristocratic alreadly. I'd say repeal it and replace it with term limits for the Senate of two terms maximum. I'd also be happy with one term only. Or two four-year terms.
