I have forgotten the details, but the opposition, grasping at straws, filed suit claiming that something violated the prescribed process of proposing and adopting amendments.
Well ok, "vice de forme" sucks, the solution to that is to make sure you follow the correct procedure when the amendment is proposed, this is just a general property of societies based on rules. It's like some mafia boss not getting convicted because the only incriminating evidence was collected in an illegal manner.

It wasn't at the time, although shortly thereafter five unelected, unaccountable Justices amended the Federal constitution to make it so. (Yeah, they only changed the way the existing words are interpreted, but it's effectively the same thing, except it bypasses the legislative and state ratification process.)
I've never understood why you guys across the pond let your judges write your law...
