Sixth Amendment is the right to a speedy trial. They would have to expand the courts to thousands of more courts to get that done. And then there are appeals, and appeals of appeals, etc.
Not to mention lawyer fees would go up 10x or 100x for any simple thing.
Want to get charged $10k for a speeding ticket? This is how it happens.

But if they're denying justice because "it would cost too much to do it correctly", then maybe the taxpayers just have to pony up more cash. But it's also possibly the case that they don't need more courts, they just have to stop focusing on bullshit drug charges that absolutely no one gives a shit about. If drug addicts want to commit slow suicide doing the stuff, let them. If you want to instead focus on the drug dealers, there are simple policies that would put street dealers out of business instantly. Your objections don't really line up with your goals, no matter what your goals happen to be. Think about it all a bit more carefully.
