Secession is still a minority movement all things considered. Yes California went nowhere. It would be an action in the leadup of a complete collapse, so constitutional crisis or not, there may not be a US Government to effectively enforce it.

Chief Justice Chase said at the time of White v Texas that a revolution by a state couldn't be stopped by White v Texas. Scalia's remarks on this (Paywall) never addressed revolution, only that a state can't secede by law.
