I believe in the right of self determination.If the people of California want to secede, who are we to stand in their way? If there is a popular vote (I do believe secession should be more than a majority,maybe 60%) and the state decides to leave, go in peace. A seceding state should be required to repay their share of the national debt over some period of years and the federal land within the state’s border subject to a negotiated settlement. I think we need a Constitutional amendment to layout the process.
Thanks for your thoughts.
