The Judiciary

In the revised constitution the thing that needs fixed the most is the judiciary.

First: get rid of the life appointment; make it a single term of 14 years. This will make sure that it turns over during the term of a subsequent president. In no case may a judge serve past the age of 75.

Second: If a court finds an act of Congress unconstitutional; Congress can reenact that act by 2/3 of each house.

Third the Supreme Court can find a state act unconstitutional if and only if the State Supreme Court has ruled on the constitutionality of the act. The US Supreme Court must rule by 2/3 of all justice appointed at that time on the constitutionality of the act. If a state act is ruled unconstitutional the state legislature can reenact it by 2/3 of each house unless the state has a unicameral then it must be 3/4 (Nebraska has idiots).

Fourth: The Senate of the United States must immediately put to an up or down vote the confirmation of any appointment to the judiciary sent to it by the President. No procedure other than taking the vote is possible and no other action of the Senate can take place until that vote is taken. Any Senator not present or voting present shall be counted as voting in favor of the appointment. No more holding appointments for years while senators deal for bridges to no where.

There will be some other posts about changes to the Constitution that will touch the judiciary but these are the direct changes.
