The Hawaiian recognition bill seeks to pull a thoroughly integrated ethnic group out of society and create an ethnic nationalist government. The same arguments favoring an ethnic Hawaiian “nation” would also favor nationhood for Mexican-Americans, whose radical sovereignty groups MEChA and Nation of Aztlan are very active in California and the Southwest. The legal theory behind the Hawaiian recognition bill makes Hawaiian nationalism the thin edge of a knife poised to balkanize America and perhaps eventually dismember it. Hawaiian nationalism, Chicano nationalism, Black nationalism, and demands for reparations are destabilizing America. Passage of the Hawaiian Recognition bill would give legal and political support to all such radical movements.

Is there any organized Hawaiian secessionist movement that could be supported?

I would certainly like to see Hawaii lose its two US senators and let them be free to choose there own destiny.

I am sure a deal could be worked out, similar to Cuba to lease land for whatever reasonable military requirements the US would need.

Trask and her ilk are all-out racists.

That said, most folks are highly ignorant of the background of Kamehameha Schools, a private school operating on revenue generated from the estate of Princess Bernice Pauahi, who desired to educate children of Hawaiian ancestry.

Of course, leftists have no problem with reversing a dead person's will and undermining the rules of a private institution all in the name of "racial tolerance".

This is the near-term future of Failed Liberalism and the Democratic Party: to create as many phony "ethnic identity groups" as possible, each one screeching for public money to be used for utterly sectarian and Left-wing causes.

This is hilarious!

Gee, what we're seeing here is Hawaiian racism.

The article refers to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher as a Washington D.C. based firm.

It is actually a Los Angeles based firm, although it does maintain offices in D.C. Such luminaries as William French Smith (Reagan's 1st AttGen) and the current SolGen, Ted Olson, hail from GD&C.

Also, as an FYI, GD&C represented the WashPost and LATimes in their suits against Free Republic. GD&C won that case too.
