They are creating bullshit out of thin air because they don't like the results of the elections to change the Constitution. Bullshit, but bullshit walks in California.
Historically, when the highest law of the land usurps natural law, there are generally two means of recourse:

1. Bring new laws
2. Bring revolution

America is strong, but jurists doing things like this will cause some creaking in the joints.
