You mean like when the "strict constructionist" conservatards rewrote the second amendment to ignore the whole "militia" thing?  That kind of conservatardism?

Too real. I have quite a few old friends back in my hometown who talk exactly like that.

But if this makes it to the Supreme Court, they could just rubber stamp it.

The Supreme Court cannot amend the Constitution, either.

No, but the US Supreme Court adjudicates the constitutionality of laws and of executive orders signed by the president. It's already happened with Trump's travel ban from mostly Muslim countries that he signed after he was in office a week. The Supreme Court upheld the executive order in June.
