While the article may be technically accurate it was misleading and is not the whole story. By the same token, posts on this thread are not in complete context.
If what you are saying is true, it seems to me that such a ruling would establish a precedent that would strike down all laws passed by amendment..any amendment by definition not precisely the same subject as the original bill. I would expect that the legislature would have something to say about that. I had assumed that the test was whether the amendment was germane to the bill and that some reasonable judgment had been applied.
