Your scenario doesn't really matter in terms of the Judiciary Branch over-reaching to choke the voice of the people who voted in this century/millenium.
And Californians who voted on the definition of one man/one woman in marriage did not rebel nor secede from the Union, which could be called "treason". They voted, and they voted to keep and constitutionalize a
definition that has endured thousands of years, both BC and AD.
