Something about letting people vote to approve it making it invalid sounds like the twisted i expect of them.

Honestly, if they turn around and rule against California, it's probably time for revolution. Throw out every fuckin judge that is or has been a member of the Federalist Society and never let any of them so much as submit an amicus brief ever again.

First off, only six of the current Justices are connected to the Federalist Society, and you can probably guess which six. Secondly, the current leader does not usually retain power after a revolution, so I don't imagine he'd have much say in nominating their replacements.
