i recognize the american constitution is difficult to change.... but it's still easier than the canadian...
but i still have a question...... can an amendment could be passed that would reverse a supremme court judegment?
for example if the us supreme court were to say that gay marriage was legal and an amendment was passed saying that marriage was restricted to one man/one woman....
would this amendment be legal? ie can amendemtns be passed that conflict demonstrably with other clauses in the constitution?

The Supreme Court can rule whether a law is in-line with the Constitution. An ammendment changes the Constitution. As such, obviosuly, an ammendment can't be unconstitutional-- it is part of it. The ammendment would make the Supreme Court ruling obsolete.
