But Federalist #78 clearly said that the federal courts would have the power to strike down unconstitutional laws.

The Constitution clearly grants federal legislative veto power to the President. There is no such power over state law, or God forbid, state constitutions.

I find it abhorrent that a single federal judge thinks he/she has the authority to overturn a state constitutional amendment.

CA and NY are considering state constitutional conventions to start over, to completely rewrite the central nervous system of their states. It would constitute tyranny for a federal judge to pick and choose or rewrite which articles should be retained
