And my point was that the criticism here was that he was an elected official violating some trust. If you are saying that he owes fealty to California law, over and above the wishes of his own electorate, you are taking him out of the "official acting in an official capacity" role for this argument and merely saying that everyone has a duty to obey the state's laws, thus effectively mooting concepts of civil disobedience.
