Demonrats and RINOs had better take notice. The pot is coming to a boil in Oregon.
Other areas too are sick to death of the destruction of states by leftist psychos. Sanctuary state my ass! The elections here have been rigged, mail in, criminal and fake since 1987.

That was back when Americans split into two huge political sides, each hating the other, calling each other names, each intolerant of the other's views and eventually wanting to fight them physically. It must have been terrible back then.

I'm glad it's nothing whatsoever like that now...

What does the constitution say?

"The Constitution grants general state-creation powers to Congress in Article IV, Section 3, under the Admissions Clause, which reads: “New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”

I think Eastern Washington and maybe parts of Northern California want in on this..

A few years ago. there was a movement to join parts of Washington, Idaho, and Montana into "Idawasmont."

With Virginia having seceded, the Union Army, which was occupying Alexandria, woke up the City Council members in the middle of the night, constituted them the “State Legislature,” and told them if they wanted to get back to bed, they would need to approve the creation of West Virginia. So they did.

Demonstrating that the secession of the WVA counties ignored the Constitution. But then it’s just one of many other expedient but illegal orders during the 16th administration.

The attempt to have Chief Justice Taney arrested is one of my favorites. Along with arbitrarily stripping Clement Vallandigham of his citizenship. Arresting the entire Maryland legislature. Shutting down hundreds of newspapers.

Any such change in the state’s boundaries would require ratification by the Oregon Legislature, which is controlled by Democrats.

Amusing story but nowhere close to being factual.

Explain how West Virginia became a state.

The part of the Virginia legislature not participating in the rebellion were recognized as the legitimate state legislature. They voted to partition, Congress agreed.

Frank, Frank, we all saw what you did, you rascal.

The biggest difference is we are mostly living in each others spaces and are in daily contact with each other.

Shooting a guy that lives on your block is different than the blue vs the gray.

Of course, the target is easier to get to. S/OFF

You would think these lefty state would love to get rid of their hemmeroids.

No, they don't. What better way to negate conservative votes than to bundle them in with overwhelming liberal states? If they let them leave, then their votes would actually count for something. Keeping them where they are means those votes won't really count.

Thank a 1964 Scotus decision, Reynolds v. Sims, for big city domination of state legislatures.

Until Reynolds, states often apportioned senatorial districts by counties. After Reynolds, One-Man-One-Vote became the bumper sticker standard for all state legislative houses. This little known decision is at least partly, if not largely, responsible for the growing fiscal emergencies in many states. Reynolds v. Sims is the judicially imposed, unconstitutional state level equivalent of the 17th Amendment, which democratized the US Senate.

Progressing the Constitution - One Man One Vote.

Here in MO, we have KC which is already half in KS and St Louis which effectively is 1/4 in IL. Would be nice to sell the MO parts to KS and IL. $50 each.
