Sobran is covering old ground. I could swear that I've read this almost verbatim in the past. The answer to your question is: A state can't secede. Each state is now just a form of local government, right above counties and cities. After the Civil War, we became one union comprised of 50 weak governmental entities. And with the ever-more-rapid movement of Americans (I've been transfered to four different states), we are becoming blurred as a nation. Throw in jet travel, nationwide 24/7 media, immigration (legal and otherwise), and the idea of secession becomes moot. Right or wrong, Mr. Lincoln won his war, and changed us forever.
I want to know what it would take to secede from a state, or how to form our own county.>>
Why don't you secede on your own? Declare your back yard independent. That way you get all the pleasure of being a republic of one without having to destroy the country.
