Re: Power of the SCOTUS IX: The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the SCOTUS nine that day
That's a religious argument (which many of us do not share), not a legal one.
But yes, the larger point is that these things are determined at the ground level by politics. Literally nothing is forever; nothing descends from an angry man in the clouds, everything can be changed by political processes given the right circumstances. And that is why I don't trust your side right now to get anything like the power to change in one swipe the fundamentals of the government. That would be a disaster akin to Germany winning WW2. A Germany with nukes.
Your side is amusing out of power. To the extent it gets power it becomes a threat. With a convention that threat would be maximized. We're not off this planet yet so that can simply not be permitted.
