Let’s say eastern counties vote to secede and get a high turnout. How are the liberals there going to fight? 30% of the rest of the state could do it.

Under the Constitution, there are three legislative steps that would have to be accomplished to make this happen.
  1. The Oregon Legislature would have to approve it.
  2. The Idaho Legislature would have to approve it.
  3. Both Houses of Congress would have to approve it.

wasn't there also an issue, fairly recently in Tennessee and Georgia? A town was split in half, the boundary line was calculated in error originally and then changed?.

Senator Evert Dirksen of Illinois predicted what would happen with the USSC decision - Reynolds vs Simms. This decision upset the Republic-Democ4acy balance of the Constitution put in by the Founding Fathers. One of the several mindless “democracy worship” decisions of tbe USSC.

Repeal the 17th Amendment!

IMHO, I think eastern Washington and Oregon, rather than become part of Idaho, should secede and form one state.

2 Republican Senators and at least one or two Republican House members. Western Oregon and Washington, probably wouldn’t survive and would have to join forces.

And it would be awesome if the farmers and ranchers in the newly formed state charged the liberals quadruple for anything they want to buy.

Interestingly, my nephew lives not far outside of Seattle. And there seems to be quite a few folks in his neighborhood that do not embrace the InsaneLiberal Mindset that took over Washington. In fact, the folks I spoke with talk about how Washington was before Microsoft and all the tech people took over Seattle.

If anyone remembers the Seattle Port cop, Greg Anderson, who was fired for nonsense, apparently he has a podcast that goes into some detail about the political makeup and ideology of the people.

Even smarmy pinkos know that they need productive citizens to find their idiocy. Deep down, they hate us, but know they need us. And they know we don’t need them.

The courts have nothing to do with it.

But the Oregon legislature does.

Here’s a question for anyone and everyone on here:

How does a state, like Wisconsin, have a Republican Majority in the State Legislature allow a Democrat Governor to do so much damage?

I don’t remember hearing about that issue with Tennessee and Georgia. But I do recall something similar recently between North and South Carolina, where they were surveying the boundary , and some properties were now officially in the other state.

“When Leftists who have nothing but contempt for the America-First movement and seem to put America last in all their policy considerations, start declaring that something is “bad for the country,” it must be very good indeed.“

Indeed. Just like when they say a sane idea is a threat to “our democracy” I know it means it is a threat to liberal groupthink and quite likely a good idea.

ARTICLE IV, Section 3. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.

Looks like they need consent of the legislatures of both states and Congress.

I cannot imagine the United States Congress permitting this move.

So for a thought experiment—what if the Idaho legislature approves hoding discussions on moving the border lines and the Oregon legislature of course denies. What happens if those affected Eastern Oregon counties made themselves ungovernable by Oregon laws and defacto joined Idaho? Set up California style “Bug Stations” etc...Welcome to Greater Idaho signs, etc...

Then the issue is dead.

What happens if those affected Eastern Oregon counties made themselves ungovernable by Oregon laws and de facto joined Idaho?

The Governor of Oregon would declare them to be in a state of insurrection and would call out the Oregon National Guard to put them in their place. If the National Guard were not up to the task, the Governor would declare martial law and ask the President to send in the Army.

The same is going on in California!!

https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/california/articles/what-is-the-new-california-heres-everything-you-need-to-know/

Robert Paul Preston, an American conservative figure, is leading the charge of secession with backing from several organized committees and a council of representatives from other California counties. These aspiring New Californians plan on following constitutional protocol as closely as possible for the separation.

For several years there has been a movement among conservatives in Southern Oregon and Northern California to get together and form a new state called Jefferson.

Wisconsin has always been a polarized state: Madison & Milwaukee are flaming Liberal, and the rest of the state is conservative.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker had an unfriendly relationship with Trump, and that may have contributed to his loss in 2018. And then Trump endorsed Tim Michels, who parroted his election fraud claims, in 2022, and the Wisconsin voters said no to Michels, due to that and the abortion issue. Republican former Lt Governor Rebecca Kleefisch would probably have won the election. It’s just another chapter of the sad 2022 election story for Republicans.

Maybe Moscow can annex Washington DC, just a thought.
