I agree it is fucked up but the SC is screwed either way. If they strike the law down, they'd have people saying, "WTF look how the SC refuses to let us make our own laws." And as it did pass, "WTF look how the SC legislates from the bench." Even though it was a LOCAL law they upheld.

It's not that hard to change your area to make sure you get a law protecting land. Unlike someone above believes, you can fight to change laws.

This would not be hard at all since the media coverage is already there. Here's how you do it:

Call your local elections board and find out how many signatures (*by law EVERY state must allow this) it take on a petition to get something on the ballot.

Also, make sure you know the wording needed, or after you turn it in they may reject it for terminology forcing you to start all over again.

Then you ask if anyone has filed the necessary paperwork (if needed yet) if so then you find them and sign the petition.

OR you call the Dems. or GOP or both headquarters in your area to see if either knows of a petition going around and if so how to sign.

You work to get the needed signatures, turn it into the elections board and get it on the ballot.

Now if someone is losing their house and you have jumped through the hoops, gotten the signatures and it's on the next ballot, you have a justifiable reason to get a cease and desist order preventing the loss of land until the vote.

You can do this on local or state level.

It sounds much harder than it is.

*.... in order for a territory to become a state, one of the major requirements in their state constitutions is a way for people to be able to put laws on the ballot..... I.E. petitions. so every state may have slightly different petition requirements but in every state you can by law petition to get a law made.
