It is also change in a manner that requires prolonged deliberation and consent of 2/3 the States of the Union, not 5 out of 9 SCOTUS justices.

Absolutely, and a super majority in the legislature and a presidential signature. But this ensures that the primary document of our republic is not susceptible to the whims of the times like 5/9 SCOTUS judges are, the president, senators and congressmen. It is a long process and there must be consensus of the governed rather than the caprices of the powerful.
