This is much wiser than appealing to the US Supreme Court."

No, both routes should be used. The courts can't be allowed to override the constitution - - and when state courts do it, a federal court ought to be able to protect citizens from such abuse.

Which law allows the Federal Courts to do this?

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

The Supreme Court makes up nonsense all the time.

Seems a lot of "courts" are arrogant power hungry "law makers" rather than judicial "law followers". There's gonna be blood in the streets if this crap keeps up. JMHO.

They have. A Federal Court issued an injunction against the NVSC ruling.
