SCOTUS can only review federal questions. I do not see anything in this that is a federal question. They cannot tell California how to amend their own constitution.

They can invalidate portions of the constitution that conflict with federal statute or the U.S. Constitution. A state constitutional amendment legalizing bigamy would be invalid due to conflict with federal anti-bigamy statutes, for example.
