Would it be harmful to discuss an orderly secession of States no longer willing to take part in the contemporary Federal government? Is it legal?

I don’t believe we’re going to see Obama ousted in November, and I’m urging everyone to have contingency plans for just such an event. America, as we’ve known it, is going to cease to exist, I fear. If our State representatives and governors don’t step up to stop the uncontrolled ascent of the Federal government, State sovereignty will mean nothing.

Americans today don’t know what it was like to live in this country when responsibility mattered. They want one nanny state to rule them all, and they’re getting it, damn the consequences.

America’s epitaph will read: United States of America, 1775 - 2012. Cause of death: voter stupidity.

No, but it would be a waste of time, since most of the states that people talk about seceding are close to going Democrat within the next decade or so, and there would not be a clear majority supporting it in most of them. There are those who think that as long as 51% are okay with secession, that's all that matters, but by forcing the other 49% to along with it, they'd be no better than the very government they are trying to avoid.

I'm in Texas, and I always get a good laugh out of the "Secede" license plates, since Texas is already minority-majority, and soon Hispanics will be the largest group. Secession wouldn't work out too well for us.
