I don’t think secession is likely either.
But now that the SCOTUS has ruled same sex marriage is the law of the land and all such marriages must be recognized in all 50 states, short of secession, what can the states do?
The US Constitution in general, the 10th Amendment in particular, have been routinely ignored by the Federal government since at least the days of the New Deal.
Perhaps we learn from underground societies in repressive regimes throughout the world to understand how they operate. Rather than physical geographical secession perhaps we find other ways to disengage and operate outside the grid. I don’t pretend to know.
What can the states DO?
That is the key question. If they would break down and pass legislation protecting the clerks or outright forbidding homo marriage, that would be a start. Wringing their hands and whining isn’t going to accomplish anything.
Liberals win because they don’t give up, they don’t take no for an answer, and they actually show leadership instead of using everything as the basis for another campaign of empty promises.
