Ideas on how to expedite things would be welcome.

Mandatory Judical Review by a set of 9 "Judges" the moment the ink dries on ANY passed law. This set of judges should only have one mission in life and that is to see if the law constitutional.
Empower the judges to only strike down laws but not confirm laws. In effect if something in the law was deemed unconstitutional then for the protection of the people the whole law should be struck down.
If nothing is found to be unconstitutional then the law goes into effect but is still subject to all the normal reviews of the court system as we do today.
That would help restore some balance and would not change the process of passing laws but simply cause laws to be reviewed before blatently denying rights. It would also be useful because once a particular law is struck down and only micro changes are made to the law and it is passed again to deny rights the action would be prevented. The over and over abuse of power by the legislature would be stopped. the 9 Judges could simply stike the law down again and the legislature wouldnt be able to use laws to deny rights, pending decades of court battle. The same review should apply to each and every presidential decree. (although I personally doubt executive orders as a whole are constitutional)
