You are forgetting about the (often ignored) Tenth Amendment.

  Congress could eliminate the tenth amendment anytime it had a supermajority... there's no clause in the constitution that cannot be amended.

    I'm not sure such a proposal would fly. It would be overtly acknowledging the policy shift toward a federal power grab. There would be some resistance and perhaps even some re-balancing of federal/state powers in the end. As long as the Tenth is there, it is part of the constitution which all elected officials have sworn an oath to uphold.

    Not by itself. It must go through the States via the ratification process. https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution
