I live in NYS.

Even Upstate pols are talking secession, from the state, not the union, these days.

It’s not wacky any more.

It has whatever meaning that SCOTUS chooses to give it by judicial gloss. To quote Chief Justice John Marshall in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) we must never forget that it is a constitution we are expounding," one that was "intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.

The fact is that SCOTUS declines to exercise original jurisdiction in such cases, so it will remain a mystery.

I’d be happy with them actually saying they are going to hear the case in the first place.

They can decide not to.

“””What is New California and New Nevada? Is this some wacky succession movment?”””


At this point I do not think it helps the cause when a ‘non-government actor’ enters a fight that has only been between various government entities to date.

I suspect these two ‘NGA’s will not be the only ones who want to get their 15 seconds of fame.

Correction. MORE have not filed in support of defendants.

The statement relates to "states/territories"... so I figured Missouri+16 in support versus DC+23 against. Let me know if that is not factually correct.

I just saw, BTW that Mike Johnson is now at +126 up from the earlier +106. I will update the table and repost with some with the reply from Texas, shortly.

“ Simply put, yes. Perhaps you been asleep for a while, but “law” doesn’t mean much in 2020.”

We’ll soon see how far we’ve fallen.

SCOTUS sets the timetable. For example, they could grant the right to file Mon morning and then deny the right to be heard on Wed of next week.
