Back in the Sixties when Earl Warren was running roughshod over the Constitution, there was a suggestion to create a Court of Union one level higher than the Supreme Court. This would have meant that the Chief Justices of the states would meet en banc and review Supreme Court decisions and possibly overrule them.

The idea surfaced for a time, but then disappeared. It would have required a constitutional amendment, and the momentum in Congress wasn't there.

It is now time for a Constitutional Convention. Once we win the White House. We have lost all common sense in this Country. Nothing to lose....babies are killed by the millions, marriage is regulated to the level of a drivers license .....voting doesn’t even need that.....on and on

One need not create a court above the Supreme Court, but by statute a court of Appeals consisting like the old circuit courts of one justice of the Supreme Court and four or five judges chosen by the several States, to sit in banc to review any constitutional questions concerning the rights of the states of the Union.

OMG!

That is a Great Idea!~

I have often wondered how to fix the Supreme Court without mess it up even more.

But that may be the answer!
