Come on, you can't just say "its so". I can't find any Constitutional restrictions on the content of Amendments. Further, there is nothing in the Constitution which forces internal consistency for that matter. The only safety checks in the Amendment process are the hoops one most go through, i.e. Congress + States, and the size of majorities required. If we mustered the required majorities, then we could pass any awful amendments desired (pick your worst nightmare) and once enshrined in the Constitution, only another amendment to rid it, will follow the law. Heck, a Constitutional Convention could entirely replace the existing Constitution.
