Isn’t the amendment route what the people in California tried only to have a homosexual judge decide it was unconstitutional to change the constitution? Once the people no longer rule, that cannot rule themselves back into power.

They were amending the California Consitution. And the California Supreme court upheld the amendment. Then a homosexual federal judge decided that was against the federal constitution.

This would be amending the Federal Constitution. SCOTUS could conceivably strike down such an amendment claiming it conflicts one of the other provisions. But we can either write the amendment to specifically address any conflict. Or we can impeach the justices.
