Of course the SCOTUS can redefine a word, or a phrase, or a clause.
The Court has already defined the word "life", and because of that definition 40 million souls have never seen the life that the Constitution guaranteed them. An entire generation condemned to oblivion because unelected judges defined a word to suit their own agendas.
If "life" can be defined and redefined will "marriage" be any different?
The interpretation of the Constitution is whatever the unelected High Court says it is, and whatever they deem a word to be then so be it. Who will stop them? They have a lifetime job and answer to no one.
Since the elected Legislature and the elected Executive will not use their authority to counter the unelected High Court's rulings that unelected court has, in effect, become the primary law making body in this nation as regards social institutions.
There will, almost certainly, be an attack on the wording of the 2nd Amendment in the not to distance future. And look for wording to be changed in the 1st Amendment regarding the government's right to prohibit the free exercise of religion because of Islamic terrorism.
