Very questionable constitutionally. Can a state government mandate to cities what monuments they have to maintain on city property?

Will the state of South Carolina try to seize Fort Sumter again?

State law supersedes them, so yes.

Just like state legislature can pass bills prohibiting city councils from making infringing gun control laws.

Fort Sumter was U.S. federal property.

Beats me,I’m no lawyer but when states enact laws,like no smoking,cities have to prohibit it.

After what the courts did to Trump and immigration I’m bewildered.

For the record: Tennessee has a similar law, called the 'Tennessee Heritage Protection Act'.

It's the reason why the statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest still stands in Memphis today, despite the city council there voting to remove it in 2015 after the Charleston church shooting.

That Tennessee law hasn't been overturned by any court either, and Memphis has all but given up challenging it in court. They're now trying to find an end-run around the law with a waiver, but that's beside the main point: This law is constitutional.
