That does not make sense.
An amendment to a Constitution CANNOT be Constitutional until it is ratified, in this case, by the voters..
If we amend the US Constitution to allow slavery, it cannot be ruled “unconstitutional.”
Amendments change things - now it may have ruled that the method of garnering those votes or the method of placing the issue before the voters was unconstitutional, but not the ratified will of the voters.

No, judges can't rule that a constitutional amendment is unconstitutional.

" There was one. The black robe mafia just ruled it unconstitutional and threw it out. "
The constitution, or any element of it, can not be declared unconstitutional.

There was one. The black robe mafia just ruled it unconstitutional and threw it out. Sounds like we need an extra clause or an extra amendment to put before the voters. Saying that judges that overrule such constitutional amendments either are automatically removed from office or at least all automatically face a prompt recall election associated with a re-vote on the amendment.
