the run away Supreme Court and forbid it to interfere with Laws passed regarding money and politics.
#2 Pass a law that Corporations are not people and are not entitled to HUMAN rights, make this law beyond the purview of the SCOTUS.
#3 Pass a law that publicly finances elections, make it illegal to spend money to influence elected officials.
#4 Make the SCOTUS Judges be bound by the same ethics rules that apply to any other Federal Judge (If they violate the ethics rules they are removed from office and jailed).
#5 Pass a law that any electronic means of vote counting be TRANSPARENT and verified by a random hand count of 20% of the votes it counts.

That is a start
