The justices need to be term limited with no re-appointment possible. Ten year terms. The court is so politicized that even direct elections would be preferable to the current system. I also like the idea of Mark Levin that the congress could overturn a SC decision by a 2/3 margin in both Houses. Terrible idea. That would effectively mean that Congress could amend the Constitution by a 2/3 majority, without the states. Also, could Congress also overturn lower court decisions?

Well, right now the justices can amend the Constitution every session and the justices always have the last word.
Perhaps, the state legislatures could overturn supreme court decisions by 2/3 or 3/4 vote w/o Congress.
