You are right to stick with the existing Constitution. If the traitors on the supreme court can nullify the 5th Amendment, they can nullify the whole thing.

Point taken.

But I have an idea. We research the outrage they called the majority opinion in their "Americans are sharecroppers" decision they just made.

Then with much research, forethought and counsel, we draft an amendment that explicitly counteracts their decision.

Then when local 3rd-world style politicos try to steal land and give it to their cronies, we send the issue back to SCOTUS.

At that point SCOTUS is in a pinch. They'll have to honor the new amendment or declare themselves in outright defiance of it. When the latter happens, we have a constitutional crisis, and a huge stink occurs. They don't want that. We do. If they are in defiance, the courts credibility and even authority may be undermined. Basically we'll twist their arm until they say "uncle" to save their own power.

The only catch in my plan is SCOTUS decides which cases it takes. If its members wouldn't uphold our amendment, they'll definitely sidestep the case as it has the 2nd Amendment (and for exactly the same reason).

So ultimately, different circuit courts will issue conflicting opinions and different states will have different federal rulings.

And the moment a SCOTUS justice retires, we have a chance to take the case back.

My plan might not be perfect, and I'm sure it needs work but its better than what we have now, which is nothing. Anyone here feel free to critique it.
