My question was more general...

So you’re saying that you think the fedgov would militarily invade a state or states that told them “you’ve got no juice here”.
Even if said states offered no threat nor acted in any threatening way.

1) Obama's personality does not appear to be one that can let insults pass without repercussion.

2) States that are resource rich cannot be allowed to exit the country as he needs to loot them to pay his bills. One reason that Hawaii has the best chance of a break away is because Obama could afford to let Hawaii's tourist dollars go. The oil fields of Texas and Alaska not so much.

3) Most importantly of all historic precedent. What did Washington (Pennsylvania) and Lincoln (South Carolina) do when states tried to break away? Doesn't every president want to be like Washington and Lincoln, I mean except for the Ford's Theater thing. Sure Washington put down the whiskey rebellion without firing a shot. But he still mustered the army and sent it into the state in question.

Obama will go full bore Sherman on anybody who dares to oppose him. Unless that is they have some way to dissuade him from doing so.
