The constitution doesn't constrain the US. The judges sitting on top of it are foremostly politicians - if they wanted to, they could take things in a different direction.

Indeed. The Roe V Wade overthrow shows how it's done. Judges are permanent legislators; it's been a critical part of the Republican project of past decades to pick them to ensure particular outcomes.
