Didn’t Henry VIII more or less reverse the Magna Carta by consolidating absolute power?

Not really. He thought that he was above the law and got laws passed to inflict his will.

However, the will of the people supersedes any opinion a king may have when his will interferes with their will.

Henry's action only appeared to reverse the Magna Carta.

Much like the USSC's rulings and the Congresses's laws appear to reverse the Constitution?

I didn’t mean to imply he reversed it in law, only in effect as you say. A reminder how paper means nothing if it isn’t enforced.
