That, and impeaching judges who attempt to make laws from the bench instead of interpreting existing law. The judiciary has gotten drunk with power, and it's about time the other two branches reigned them in.

This is why the left selected this issue, which sounds a lot like a case for judical review. Only they should be in jail until the review is complete. The problem is that without a clear constitutional statement, (which has been left out of the constitution because the founders did not want to put minutia in the constitution) these lower judges can make their rulings. Judicial review takes a long time too, like a constitutional ammendment. When we get a supreme court judge who specifically crosses the constitution, we get a case for impeachment, but since it affects the checks and balances it has to be a really clear distinction. And don't forget, it needs a two thirds majority in the senate, something that could also put new conservative justices on the bench.
