That is a GREAT idea!

It can't be any worse...

Chances are that the state appointed fed would be worse than what we have.

Wasn’t this attempted in 1860? How did that turn out?

Would it be a violation of the Constitution? Where in the Constitution is there an “escape clause”? Is it really there or is it imagined to be there like abortion rights? Why do you think the founders didn’t have an explicit “escape cluase”? Didn’t we already fight that war? Hey, I’m just askin’.

Some states are just not going to join in, like California, where, unfortunately, I live. (Mr. Moonbeam is our AG!!)

But all of those states that are free, and are willing, I think that they should.

State rights will need to become paramount to overturn the suffocating weight of the federal tyranny.

Besides, if some liberal sink holes of looters remain, they can be safe heavens for all those whining liberals who don’t want freedom.

A more realistic thought:

What if Texas sub-divided into four additional states as our statehood treaty with the US allows? Eight additional Senators in the Senate - probably six Republicans and two Democrats.

This might be the time to seriously consider it.

That’s what you call a constitutional convention.

Yeah but those Manificent Seven other states lead by the Obama thuggery would kill the outlaws!

Or we can use this as an opportunity to create jobs. with the 100s of millions of Burkas, Black top hats, horse drawn wagons, (eergo green jobs), and turbins we could be rich free and move to the 58st through 59th states!

Works for me...but how about booting Vermont and putting Michigan, California, NY and a few others on probation until they decide to get with the program.

BTW, I love Vermont and many old time Vermonters (I used to live there). But the left-over hippies that have taken over (see Howard Dean) have ruined a beautiful place.

I don’t think we’d want ALL 50 States. Let the States join who are in favor of the U.S. Constitution, as intended, and those remaining can be the enclaves of political correctness, diversity, faggots and dykes, etc. The rest of us will live in the Country that was FOUNDED, without Federal interference.

Well, if anyone is paying attention to the Constitution any more, there is that little Article 1, Section 10 thing prohibiting States from entering into a Confederation. It does beg a philosophical consideration though if they feel the Federal Gov isn’t following the Constitution, would they be enforcing the Constitution, therefore, it isn’t a Confederation but they are just following the legal path and it is the feds that strayed.

I don’t think we could get all 50. Some of them appear to be too compromised by the present government to have any discernible sovereignty to act.

Guess they would dig a moat around D.C. and hunker down in their Commie Utopia.
