But they have the power to "interpret" the Constitution. The ACLU says that the 2nd Amendment is not about private gun ownership, it is about the militia being armed and regulated. Eric Holder made a similar statement once after the Heller ruling. 5 SCOTUS members do not have to change or repeal the 2nd A, but they can gut it by "interpreting" what a militia is, and how the 2A is about an armed and regulated militia.

Correct. They will “interpret it” out of existence and it will be lost forever. The same goes for the other amendments as well. The SC and judges run this country, and the President picks the judiciary. Demographics, immigration and the electoral college make it extremely likely that after the next 10 - 20 years we will never have another Repub President.
