Both State Supreme Courts and the Federal Supreme Court can overrule state constitutional amendments.

To the person who answered:
"They can if the amendment is unconstitutional or violates human rights in any way. But if the amendment does not violate the constitution then the Supreme Court has no right to overrule it."
The Court doesn't have the "right" to do anything. The Court has the POWER to do it. And the Court has been doing it over and over again dozens of times regardless of whether or not their rulings are legally correct. Romer v. Evans was a work of purely hypocritical b***s***.

Yes, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and the Supreme Court's decisions supercede state constitutions.

Indeed they can. It's part of check and balances. Supreme court can pretty much rule over everything.
