There is a BIG difference between amending the State's Constitution vs. amending the code. Codes can be easily amended in each legislative session, but amending the Costitution is a lot more permanent, because of the difficulty to amend. Also, a code has the possibilty of being overruled by activist judges, whereas activist judges cannot overrule the State's Constitution.
So, you may see it as a "waste of time", but it may actually be necessary to avoid unwanted results.
