I thought secession was racist?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

LOL.....do it. I dare california, then they won't be taking all of Arizona's water and power, then lets see that marxist state collapse completely?

 

[John F Kennedy III]

I hope Cali leaves the US. I'll move somewhere else in the remaining US and hope the ensuing Republican landslide victories usher in at least a few extra liberty politicians.

Arizona also gets energy from California. http://www.marketplace.org/2016/06/07/world/excess-solar-power-ca-pay-arizona-take-it

As for water, who does the water in the Colorado River belong to? None of the states it passes through? All of the states it passes through? (it eventually even sometimes reaches Mexico).

Where will the Zonies go for vacation?

 

[RonPaulIsGreat]

Good, Hollywood only make a handful of worthwhile movies a year anyway, and I hear maybe 2-3 okay new songs a year. I don't care. Bye!

 

[jbauer]

Yes please!!!!!!!!! How do we make this happen?

 

[Tywysog Cymru]

They'll be begging the US to let them back in before long!

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Sounds good. We can have the vote right after everybody who was not born in the state leaves.

 

[AZJoe]

Mexico of course.

Glad to see you are back at work! Rough night I suppose.

 

[Zippyjuan]

Yeah- Johnson only got about three percent.

Interesting article. There is back and forth transfer sale of power on the grid. However, with over twenty-five on-grid electrical generating companies (11 with capacities over 1,000 MW) including the largest power plant in the nation by annual production (Palo Verde with a 4,000 MW capacity and producing nearly 33 billion kWhs/yr) Arizona is a net exporter of electricity. Exporting nearly ten percent of all electrical power produced in the state, most of it going to California.

Calexit: California wants to leave the US after Donald Trump’s election win

#Calexit: California want to leave the US after Donald Trump’s election win

http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/09/calex...ld-trumps-election-win-6245665/#ixzz4Pb1TJcS2

If you’ve looked at the electoral results map, you’ll notice there’s a bit of a stark difference between the red and the blue bits.

That massive blue block on the left – encompassing California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington state – stands out quite a bit against all of the red.

So it may not be a huge surprise that people living in that Democrat-voting block are now looking at other options – specifically, secession.

Since Donald Trump’s electoral victory was first announced, #Calexit has been trending on Twitter, with distraught Californians looking to form their own state.

And although it hasn’t been that long, the idea is really taking off



Looks like California can legally secede for some reason. Interesting. #Calexit

Well, that took about 30 minutes. #CalExit

Racism, sexism, *****phobia, transphobia, classism, ableism. If all of this makes American 'great' again, then we are not America. #CalExit

I am so 100% for #calexit

— Alex Messick (@PotatoScavenger) November 9, 2016





So #Calexit is a thing right? I am a million times down for that.

— Sam Bell (@sarcasticsoresu) November 9, 2016



Even celeb blogger Perez Hilton is in on the action



I 100% support this!!! Californian independence!!!!! https://t.co/BREGvCsst5 #Calexit

— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) November 9, 2016





Seriously. What are the steps to make this possible??? We must secede!! #Calexit

— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) November 9, 2016



And others are saying Oregon and Washington (and maybe Nevada) should secede too



If we combine OR & WA what will the red states do without us bailing them out? All the brain trust & money goes w/US of West States #Secede https://t.co/QlPAPIpNGI

One man suggested that the new country could be called ‘Cow’



CA, OR, and WA should either be a new country known as Cow or a Canadian province(also known as Cow). #CalExit

So could it actually happen?

Possibly – there is no specific ban on state secession in the US Constitution. In fact, there’s nothing on secession in there at all.

Plus, there’s a bit of a legal loophole.

In the case of Texas v White, the Supreme Court said:


When Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.

Did you notice that last bit? ‘Except through revolution or through consent of the States.’

If enough Californians want it, there’s a chance it could happen.

And this is far from the first west coast secession movement in the US – the Cascadia secessionists have long campaigned for a separate state of Cascadia, which mostly spans the Pacific Northwestern states

 

[Anti Federalist]

Well, bye.

 

[anaconda]

Abraham Lincoln is rolling over in his grave.

 

[Aratus]

Had Hillary won, Texas goes Texit to the exit? Instead Thahhh Donald wins and California wants to float out to sea or at least build a moat?

 

[rprprs]

A thumbs up from me. A much better option than waiting for the sea to swallow them up, don'tcha think?

Oh, gee, wait ...

When it comes to "that massive blue block on the left" (and "people living in that Democrat-voting block"):

Do they mean THIS?	Or do they mean THIS?
(by state)	(by county)

Because there is indeed "a bit of a stark difference between the red and the blue bits."

I have no problem with #CalExit - more power to 'em, in fact - just as long as #ExitCal comes along with it ...
