CF,
“It’s amazing that it’s being spoken of, albeit informally and often in jest...”
You know I don’t joke when I discuss it.
True, but most who mention it aren’t serious. It’s largely because few can imagine it really happening, even they know that parts of the populace don’t believe in what this country was established for. Among those who give it serious thought, few know of how it can be legally done.
Can states be expelled from the U.S.A. or succeed from it legally? I truly don’t know.
