Not according to the then editor of the Times, Shelby Coffey. The paper used both pages in the editorial section over five days in an attempt to explain how it could be done "constitutionally". They had law professors Alan Dershowitz and Lawrence Tribe, all the left lawyers of the East as advisors and columnists. It was amazing. But then that's the L.A. Times. It's been crazy since the Chandler family worried about Otis being outed as gay.
Let me guess...the esteemed legal scholars all basically said that the constitution doesn't actually mean what it says.
