That a small group of people has seized so much power and is wielding it so abruptly, energetically, and unwisely, poses a crisis for American democracy.

Do you disbelieve the Supreme Court was meant in part to be a check on "democracy?" For example, you claim the Supreme Court "loosened gun safety laws" when the Bill of Rights is absolutist in grammar. The Bill of Rights may theoretically be changed by a 2/3rds majority, but even then the 9th Amendment explicitly claims a person is a retainer of rights - suggesting that philosophically not even a Constitutional Convention can undo what the Bill of Rights protects.

Like which limitations? For example, the 2nd Amendment specifically mentions "militia" indicating the right of the 2nd Amendment is for weapons of war.

I see... which Americans have been arrested, subject to a jury trial, and incarcerated for libel or slander? The "right to peaceable assembly" isn't exactly a "right not to have an assembly infringed upon."
