What would prevent a autonomous California from allowing their communist and Mexican mafia buddy's from setting overtly hostile missile bases and troop staging ports for the eventual invasion of the rest of the US... ? keeping CA like it or not is in our best interest Economic sanctions need to be applied and the national guard needs to be activated if the state leaders refuse to comply with the laws of USA, otherwise there is no doubt the leaders are and.will continue to align with the enemies of this nation whose intentions is chaos , .

How about invading and downgrading to a territory responsible to the congress. As such, the citizens would not be allowed to vote and have no voting representatives.

The government would be headed by a viceroy

“What would prevent a autonomous California from allowing their communist and Mexican mafia buddy's from setting overtly hostile missile bases and troop staging ports for the eventual invasion of the rest of the US... ?”

Oceans once provided a great obstacle that limited the enemy's ability to attack our homestall. Now, with ICBM’s we are never more than 15-20 minutes from nuclear obliteration. Whether the missiles are fired from California or a Russian submarine off the coast of California is not going to make that much difference.

If the possibility of Russian attack from bases in California is a concern, we could always enforce the Monroe Doctrine.

The more immediate concern is being unequally yoked with San Francisco values and receiving a daily dose of their toxins. It's like getting a blood transfusion from someone HIV positive. In other words, it is not a good idea.
