The ruling rewrites the law no matter how you rule.
And this ruling does away with citizen initiatives which is a much greater rewriting of the law.How does this decision rewrite the law?
NobleFree posted the fuller text of the Constitution in 17: Each district is only allowed to contribute up to 1/5 of the minimum signatures required for the initiative. If the State now has fewer than five districts, then the exact wording of the Constitution does not allow for this process. No rewriting required. Obviously the law adding this process to their Constitution was poorly worded, but that is exactly what it says.
On the other side though, if MS suddenly gained tons of people and now had 20 districts, enough signatures from only five of them would be able to put questions on the popular ballot. Even with none from the other 15.
