“Simply put: if the Supreme Court has the power to say what is and is not constitutional, there is no limit to the Court’s power.”

Again I say, a well-written Amendment cannot be overturned by the Supreme Court (I hope; who knows at this point).

“... a well-written Amendment cannot be overturned by the Supreme Court ...”

What part of “shall not be infringed” is so hard to understand? For that matter, the same question could be asked of a number of well-written passages in the Constitution.

An Amendment is not needed for states to nullify as it has a precedent.

The states created the Fed Gov and limited it's power. Scotus is part of the Fed. It is the created, not the creator. States clearly have the right, as the creators of the Constitution, to nullify a law that is contrary to the Constitution. SCOTUS has nothing to do with it. State legislatures can vote a federal law nullified in their state based on unconstitutionality.
