Any time the Supreme Court strikes down a law, any politician who has been found to have voted in favor of three such laws is immediately stripped of all offices and rendered ineligible to run for public office ever again, at any level.
This might be nice, but questions of "upsetting the system of checks and balances" aside, you can't do it. It would violate Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution, which says that "for any speech or debate in either House, [the Senators and Representatives] shall not be questioned in any other place". "Speech or debate" would cover the vote on any question. Therefore, the only organization which can hold a senator/representative liable for passing a bad law is the one which passed the law. :(
