Doktrina o neustavni spremembi ustave (ali: doktrina o protiustavnem ustavnem amandmaju) velja za posebej sporno, celo kontroverzno temo v ustavnopravni teoriji. V zadnjih letih je bilo na to temo napisanih in objavljenih več člankov in knjig. Avtor poudarja, da v zadnjih dvajsetih letih ni bistveno spremenil svojega pogleda na to doktrino in njeno ustavnosodno uporabnost. Članek opisuje razvoj te doktrine in problem zavračanja kakršnekoli resne razprave o tej doktrini v domačem pravnem okolju. Opozarja na dejstvo, da slovensko ustavno sodišče to doktrino še naprej zavrača, ne da bi za to kot razlog navedlo en sam ustavnopravno utemeljen in argumentiran stavek, ki bi imel podlago v ustavnopravni literaturi in primerjalni ustavnosodni praksi. To sodišče torej to doktrino zavrača z argumentom moči, ne z močjo argumenta. Članek se zaključi z navedbo primerov, v katerih je treba po mnenju avtorja uporabiti to doktrino.

The doctrine of an unconstitutional constitutional amendment is considered a special, controversial topic of constitutional law theory. In recent years, several books have been written and published on this topic. The author emphasises that in the last twenty years he has not significantly changed his view of this doctrine and its constitutional applicability. The article outlines the development of this doctrine and the problem of rejecting any serious discussion of this doctrine in the domestic legal environment. He draws attention to the fact that the Slovenian Constitutional Court continues to reject this doctrine with- out providing a single sentence on the reasons—argumentation. The article concludes with an indication of the cases in which, in the author’s opinion, this doctrine should be applied.
