No, they'd say if you want it to change, you should change it, not rely on some extralegal function of SCOTUS to reinterpret it every few years.

Really? Then why do they insist on an unconstitutional ability to hand down precedents that everyone has to follow as they see fit? It's not really one of the constitutional powers of the Supreme Court to make decisions in legal cases that define or refine our laws. That would mean everything like Dred Scott v Sanford wouldn't exist in how our laws function.
