Do you really want conservative justices who will happily ignore parts of the Constitution they don't like? When a liberal justice does this, it's condemned as "judicial activism". How is it any different when a conservative does it? The proper way to deal with an undesireable ruling from the Supreme Court is to amend the Constitution; not to appoint justices who will tamper with it.

When was the last time that an amendndment was passed to override a supreme Court decision? That would be the 14th Amendment, which overrode Dred Scot,and this is after a civil war and with the Southern states represented by carpet-bag regimes under the thumb of a rump Congress.
