we a convention of the states to amend the constitution to allow COngress or the states to nullify a SCOTUS decision if enough congressmen or states choose to do so.

Careful what you wish for. The Gun-Free Schools Act, which the Supreme Court held unconstitutional in the Lopez case, was passed by Congress unanimously. If Congress had the power to nullify SCOTUS decisions, they would have overturned Lopez in a minute.

I think there should be a provision in the Constitution to allow a 3/4 vote of COngress or of the states to nullify or void a SCOTUS decision.
