DannyBee said the amendments were approved 8-0, so presumably that doesn't make them "secretive", nor is it questionable why they are legal: Everyone who is supposed to vote on those amendments did. In favor.

Just because the people who are required to vote on something know about it doesn't mean they are not secret or "secretive." This is the public's business.

There are frequently other considerations in whether something is legal than whether the people who needed to vote on it voted for it.
