Perhaps I'm a bit thick this morning, but the last time I looked at the Constitution I didn't see where the Supreme Court had the authority to unilaterally repeal any part of it.

Or is this just National Review trying to be relevant?

They can not repeal it, but what they can do, like the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, redefine words to mean what they want them to mean.

Thus they will interpret the 2nd Amendment to mean only the government agents can have guns. (Which goes against any understanding of the time when the amendment was written.)

The Constitution sole purpose as I understand it was to limit the power of the federal government. We are so far away from that concept it is not funny.

Somehow it has come about that the constitution limits the power of the citizens (think hate crimes and discrimination).

The Supreme Court can’t repeal an amendment, but they can render an interpretation of an amendment which could change how the related laws and amendment itself are interpreted and administered.

Agree, but...where in our Constitution does it say the SCOTUS has authority to unilaterally force government healthcare upon us and our required support of homomarriage?
