The argument showing what it would take for valid secession is laid out here: https://sonsofconstitutionalliberty.com/secession-and-california/ No state is anywhere close.

However, this raises an interesting and important point. States need to assert their constitutional sovereignty and reject and nullify unconstitutional federal actions and THAT would necessitate a state being willing to forego federal funding and become financially INDEPENDENT of the feds, the way the states used to be. That isn’t secession, that is reinstating our Constitutional Federal Republic with sovereign states under the Constitution and a relatively small central government existing, as created and limited by the Constitution, mainly to protect the states from invasion.

California does not have the moral or legal justification to secede without approval of the federal government.

This is totally false. Show me the article and section in the US Constitution that addresses this? The answer is YOU CAN'T.The US Constitution is silent on the issue.

But buttheads like you keep on with this lie.
