Your beef is with the SC, back as early as 1877. One of these principles is, that every State possesses exclusive jurisdiction and sovereignty over persons and property within its territory. As a consequence, every State has the power to determine for itself the civil status and capacities of its inhabitants; to prescribe the subjects upon which they may contract, the forms and solemnities with which their contracts shall be executed, the rights and obligations arising from them, and the mode in which their validity shall be determined and their obligations enforced; and also the regulate the manner and conditions upon which property situated within such territory, both personal and real, may be acquired, enjoyed, and transferred.

My beef is not with SCOTUS. Nor with the state. My beef is with the voters, with poor cause, IMO, enacting legislation that violates private property. Remember, SCOTUS, acting as the Federal Court, can overturn any state law deemend unconstitutional. Just because voters in this state are allowed to enact poor legislation doesn't mean they should do it.
