Yes.But I have an issue even with that - the reality is that if SCOTUS can trample on the understood meaning of the Constitution as it is now, nothing stops them from trampling on a new amendment.
Therefore the sovereign remedy for SCOTUS malfeasance is impeachment. And that requires no higher a standard of political coherence than a constitutional amendment does.
