...that if the voters ever voted in an amendment that voter-approved constitutional amendment can't be changed, that amendment could be changed by the legislature to say the opposite. This is total ratfuckery, and the people of Arkansas should make it a voting issue against any legislator who went against their will.

ETA: after reading the story (which I should have done first; welcome to the Internet), the state constitution allows this if two-thirds of both houses voted to do so. This should still be a voting issue, but that standard is more fair than what I had assumed existed.
