They can of course overrule them. I wouldn't want to be in a world where they did though, since most of the New Deal and post-New-Deal regulations of the economy rely specifically and solely on a broad, deferential interpretation of the necessary and proper clause that lets Congress figure out the means. I would be careful making the same arguments the libertarians do -- there might be some implications to them that you aren't considering.
