Our president received 4.4 million votes from Californians in the 2004 election. That's second only to Texas in the number of votes received per state.
I wonder if Rawls would support a withdrawal from our Union of the State of California?
Could a majority of lefties out there declare the 'Socialist State of Kalifornia' to be an independent nation? And tell all the loyal US Citizens in its borders to love it or leave?
Perhaps it could talk majorities in Oregon & Washington join the movement, and the USA could lose its entire West coast to a Union of Socialist States.
You would approve, on principle, as they have that 'right'; -- aye?
