No, it will not be a second War Between the States. The proper comparison is 1649, not 1861. Back then, the question was, "Do you support England's King Charles, king by Divine Right, head of the Established Church? Or do you support Parliament and the rights of the Commons under the Magna Carta?"

In modern terms, it would read, "Do you support the President, the Congress and the people, who have spoken and decided by an election? Or do you support the Supreme Court and the Constitution?"

I'll quote something Dennis Miller said in 1998, before he changed sides. "The Constitution is something a bunch of farmers scribbled on the back of a cocktail napkin. Who the hell cares what it says?"

That assumes the Court would not be on the same side as the President, the Congress, and some fraction of the people (less than the 52.8% who voted for The One, because he is The One.)

My oath is to the Constitution, not any of those entities created by it.

1649 vs 1861 - the question is still the same. Will we live free with the government answerable to the people OR will we be allowed to have rights at the whim of the elected. It is NOT a question of supporting the elected; they are beholden to us, not the reverse.

As far as whether it will be an English Civil War or a Second War Between The States is still open and can be avoided only by obedience to the Constitution - AS WRITTEN, NOT INTERPRETED.
