Unfortunately the f-ed up peace we have now is less tolerable than out and out secession. War only comes if FedGov™ wants one.
No need for out and out secession if states hold firm and claim their rights under the Constitution. It has become apparent that some states can legislate their laws and not be subject to federal laws while others are. Look at Colorado and others who have “legalized” marijuana. Look at others where voter-id has been declared unconstitutional.
The federal government has become too big and endeavors to intrude into our lives in all matters. What we need is freedom for an over-reaching ever-larger bureaucratic federal government, its politically correct socialist laws, and courts that legislate laws. They are no longer believe they are accountable to us, the citizens of the Republic.
Right now the federal government’s basic responsibilities to us are being ignored. Border security and immigration enforcement to name two. Not to mention, the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.
Time and time again states have legislated their laws and have been over-turned by the federal courts in areas where the courts have no Constitutional jurisdiction. It seems like we are being ruled entirely by another country, called Washington D.C.
To hell with states rights. All bow to Caesar. As tolerance is denied us and tyranny becomes more obvious, we will be forced into acts of civil disobedience. And you are right. It will be up to the federal government to play it’s hand and enforce its will. At that time the only option might be Civil Insurrection and war.
I am surprised at the number of people who are oblivious to what is happening around them. These are the people whose lives heavily rely on and are controlled by the federal government. They are totally unprepared for what’s coming.
