I may not understand this very well, but how does one challenge the constitutionality of an amendment? The only challenges of which I'm aware, are whether you collected sufficient signatures or whether explanations were clear enough. I suppose going to a friendly judge will hold it up, but how could one otherwise successfully challenge a constitutional amendment, as opposed to a statute, which process I understand.
