I think you're in luck
The state Public Employees Retirement System in CA. did this for many years. No matter where you moved they said they had the right to tax your retirement, since you made the money in CA. When you recieved the money you put in during your employment in CA, their felt it should be taxed at the CA rate.
A number of years ago a large number of retirees sued the PERS board and won. CA. has not tried that one again. So you have legal precident on your side, but hopefully it won't get to that. I think CA. already set the law for this situation, through all the suites brought from a variety of states.
Good luck.
