When a state digresses to “failed state” status, do we (should we) take that star off the flag and make it a territory?
Plow it under and send in the Feds, like a bank take over?
Can the citizens of a territory still vote in a federal election?
Yes, the citizens can vote for President, but they would no longer have voting Congressional representation. Now THAT represents a huge possibility for the rest of the country. No Pelosi, no Boxer, ..... As I remember, it was California representatives that urged the EPA to shut down irigation to the farmers in the central valley region, in favor of the smelt.
California reverts to territory status. I like it.
But only with a conservative Congress.
