It's not going to happen unless and until people who think like that get into SCOTUS.
Even a strict constructionist will need a legal argument to disturb a prior ruling, out of respect for stare decisis. Though it does happen, with the best example I can find being Bowers v. Hardwick, 478 U.S. 186 (1986) and Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003).
