If you consider the will of the voters to be fundamentally unfair, it should be redressed in the courts. If the courts do not provide proper redress, then, perhaps, at that stage it is fair to test the strenght of the system and engage in the more radical idea of public officals actively breaking the law.
The voters who elected Newsom like what he's doing. And Newsom sued the State over this, so it's not like he's ignoring the courts.
