Yeah, I think it will turn out like the “Virginia/West Virginia” decision in 1861 ...

[Not A Snowbird]

Cut the water off from LA and the Bay Area....the problems would evaporate.

I grew up in California during the drought in the 70s. I remember people threatened to shut the aqueduct and turn off the water to SoCal. We were rationing, they were washing cars and watering lawns. It fueled a lot of "split the state" talk.

[sailor76]

After they Calexit or whatever. Can we invade them?

And if we do, can I ride on the lead tank?

[abigkahuna]

As long as we get the State of Jefferson, I am fine with that...the rest can leave....

[KC_Conspirator]

Me too.

I am not sure they wouldn't get the unanimous consent from all the states. The lib states would support them, and the conservative states would welcome the 55 liberal electoral votes going bye bye.

Four years after the Civil War, the “Texas v. White” Supreme Court ruling of 1869 established that no state can ever secede from the union without the unanimous consent of all other states.

Don't the moronic libs realize this represents the "California = Mexico" movement?

Funny that the Third World hates Christians/Whitey, but LOVES and covets all that it's built (yes, we DID "built it," Mr. Communitah Organizer.)

I wouldn't mind this #Calexit referendum seceding one bit. With that kind of precedence, several southern states can also secede should 0bama Pt 2 occur.

“I don’t think California could survive without all that pork and federal funding they love so much.”

That’s a major reason why the referendums in Quebec and Scotland failed in ‘95 and ‘16 respectively.

good....please do it...please....then we can build a wall around you....

“good....please do it...please....then we can build a wall around you....”

With guard towers and machine guns please!

[Alter Kaker]

No, because math. Obama would have won in 2008 or 2012 without California’s electoral votes. Look it up - I’m right.

[fruser1]

This could be useful.

Let them secede and, before they establish any kind of treaty for military assistance, a bunch of us can invade and take it over. I could use some beach property.

Most of those lefties aren’t armed so it should be relatively easier.

Gang areas will be tough, but without US constitutional protection of their right to life, do we really care?

[Ellendra]

Texas has the resources and infrastructure that would allow it to survive as an independent nation. California? Not so much.

They can’t even provide their own water anymore.

[Morpheus2009]

Since there is time before the polls, take away any big vessels and nukes so that they have zero nuclear weapons and about zero navy if they say yes to secession.

[citizen]

Ha! Yeah, the defecting ‘Rats will want every DPRK budget to include $5B or $10B foreign aid from the USA taxpayers! Eff ‘im.

[Repeal 16-17]

The Constitution is a contract among the States.

Which means all the States should have a say regarding whether a State may secede. The federal government must make sure the Constitution is obeyed. If the States permit the secession, the feds should not interfere. If the State block the secession, the feds should enforce that decision.

[libertarian27]

Liberals will never allow California to leave...it would hurt them too much in future US elections.

You can say that again...I'm all for it - lol

From wikipedia:

In Texas v. White, the United States Supreme Court ruled unilateral secession unconstitutional, while commenting that revolution or consent of the States could lead to a successful secession.

English Canada wanted Quebec out. England wanted Scotland out. Flyover country wants the West Coast and the Northeast, except West Virginia and Pennsylvania, out. Will flyover country be luckier than English Canada or England?
