i'm sure this has been considered -- looking over the last 200 years who is considering the possibility that our form/structure of government is seriously flawed when it comes to the courts?

i'm not asking whimsically... is there a group, a think tank, etc. that someone can point me to on articles/discussions along these lines?

our founders may have formed "a more perfect government" but it certainly is showing its weaknesses (i.e. congress standing up to the courts over the constitution).

Actually, I don't think of it as an imperfect system, the mechanisms are there. The problem is, politicians do not have the balls to use the rules they have at their disposal. Take for instance the Senate with the Bolton Nomination. The weak Republican Seven who are trying to look thoughtful are preventing those who would like to force the up or down vote. It's a case of a few whimps preventing the bold action necessary.
