Greenfield: The Treasonous Secession of Climate Confederacy States

I would guess the liberal governors will argue that Mr. Greenfield’s conclusion that Brown et. al. are in violation of the Constitution is incorrect on the basis that the Paris Climate Accord is not a “treaty” in the understood meaning of this word.

Obama decided to lie and call it an agreement, but it is a governmental commitment to provide material support to outside entities - thereby intended to obligate the congress to appropriate those funds. Underlying all of this is Obama's deception on this not being a treaty.

The material you posted does not appear to me to diminish that the Paris accord was actually a treaty, although Obama desperately wanted people to not see it that way.

Who do these people think they are?

God.

What do they think gives them the right to throw away over 200 years just to satisfy their party objectives?

Mammoth senses of self-importance, arrogance and self-entitlement.

Let them go...who the hell wants hem? Saves us the trouble.

State rights are about the laws pertaining to citizenship in the state. Federal rights are about the relationship of one state to another and the combined states to other nations. Under the Constitution a state cannot establish a treaty with a nation. To do so places that state outside the perameters of statehood.
We fought a war to preserve the union. I have no doubt we will do so again. Lincoln faced precisely the same sedition that is brewing against Trump. Trump is every bit as effective as Lincoln. He will be dragged into this war and he will win it.

The difference is the South was trying to escape from the Obama of the time.

Let them cecede for real - we’re on a collision course with the left, this is a great opportunity for each side to go their own way and avoid another bloody civil war, which seems more and more inevitable.

[Louis Foxwell]

You are incorrect. Irreconcilable differences need not result in divorce. The genius of our nation and of its charter and Constitution is the willingness of the citizenry to maintain civility in the face of deep differences. This has been tested once in a terrible war. It is being tested again by those who will not tolerate opposing administration. The tyranny of the left is the poison of the age. The laws against sedition must be applied if we are to survive as a free people.

Brown belongs in prison.

Like the slaveowner class, leftist elites are letting the arrogance of their wealth lead them into treason. And as they look out from their mansions and skyscrapers, they should remember that the majority of working class people in California and New York will be far less enthusiastic about fighting a war to protect their dirty investments in solar energy plants and carbon credits funded by taxes seized from many of those same people in these left-wing slave states.

LOL - as usual - NOT pulling any punches...

Agree wholeheartedly.

Brown belongs in prison.

Yes he does. And so does De Blasio and that Boston mayor whose name secapsed me at the moment.
