When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,....
What they are proposing isn’t “Secession”. They aren’t trying to formally withdraw from the United States.
Secondly, why would Congress need to get involved? If the states want to do some re-arranging of their borders, why not? It would seem to me if this were something they wanted to do, they would have no problem with it.
Ultimately I think this is a reflection or a legacy on the Reynolds case decided by the supreme court - less populated counties or rural areas have had no defense against the large city centers for some time now.
Or put another way, what did you guys think would happen??
Too late. Idaho is going woke.
Texas should also say it will repudiate its share of the national debt.
THAT alone would put handcuffs on Fed.gov, the leftists who control it, and their thousands of social-engineering schemes.
Good luck with that, Mr. Nash. Conservatives are not ok with open borders, dope growing, dope using, or baby killing.
I believe the problem about secession was ruled upon in 1869.
Texas vs White
https://www.britannica.com/event/Texas-v-White
Texas v. White, (1869), U.S. Supreme Court case in which it was held that the United States is “an indestructible union” from which no state can secede.
Any city that reaches population of half a million will be declared a "City-State" and be spun off into it's own entity.
It will be awarded one Representative and one Senator to represent it's interests nationally.
What is needed is clean and honest elections. The political climate in many states will look a lot different.
The problems here are that the libs in Salem NEED to hold dominion over everyone in the state. As they would be nothing without the subjudgated masses. Secondly, if the population of Oregon were to plummet, that would impact congressional representation.
So, long story long, there’s no way they’re going to let them go.
Isn’t it more the crazy/normal divide?
The rural/urban divide isn’t just in Oregon.
Take: Georgia, Illinois, NY, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Washington and coming soon….South Carolina and Tennessee
They don't care. People who don't agree with progressives are not considered deserving of basic civil rights. The constant bleating of "Our Democracy" means that to their majority absolutely everything is up for grabs including the property, the wealth, and the children of anyone outside it - and their civil rights as well, which is why the Founders rejected democracy and opted for a republic. The proggies will turn dissident or disobedient areas into barbed-wire prison camps before they'll allow them freedom.
The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791. It expresses the principle of federalism, also known as states’ rights, by stating that the federal government has only those powers delegated to it by the Constitution, and that all other powers not forbidden to the states by the Constitution are reserved to each state.

Aggressive and fastidious enforcement of the 10th Ammendment upon the federal government by the states would, long term, and in just this mans opinion, be better for America.
