No, but the Supreme Court's power needs to be limited.  A lot of the centralization of power over the history of the United States has been allowed to happen because of the Court's power to stealth-amend the Constitution through judicial review.  For an example of how this power is abused, look at the Dred Scott decision, or the retardedly wide definition of "Interstate Commerce" that came to be following the New Deal.
