Apparently in their rather comical view, the "spirit of Aloha" means they get to just ignore parts of the US constitution they don't like as well as the SCOTUS.

Firstly the DOJ needs to publicly announce any police or public official who denies any American his civil rights in Hawaii WILL be arrested, charged and prosecuted in the federal courts. Secondly, the SCOTUS needs to impose Pre Clearance on the state of Hawaii. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes it quite clear the federal government determines in matters delegated by the states to the federal government - like the 2nd amendment for example.

I wish Trump would sell Hawaii. That joint is loaded with loons. Their Feral, black-robed pipe bombs are way off the rails.

That’s what SHOULD happen. Sadly, I’m unimpressed with Bondi’s DOJ. So far, they’ve accomplished little. I would be more than happy to be wrong about her.

If they wanted to go I’d say let ‘em go.

2 fewer Democrat Senators and a few less electoral votes for the Democrat in presidential elections sounds like a plan to me.

The poor schmuck will probably be in stuck in jail while the case wends its way to SCOTUS over the next several years.

Is this Aloha Spirit some demon I’ve never heard of?

Hawaii—a U.S. territory since 1898—became the 50th state in August, 1959, following a referendum in Hawaii in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state. There were many Hawaiian petitions for statehood during the first half of the 20th century. So they were not a conquered country, they voted themselves into the family. After WWII 90% of the citizenry of Hawaii were Americans. So challenging one amendment of the Constitution is not something that can be understood.

Part of the reluctance to change Hawaii’s status from territory to state derived, both in Hawaii and on the mainland, from uncertainty and fear about granting electoral power to one ethnic group or another. This was not just Caucasian vs. ethnically Polynesian.

Some ethnically Polynesian Hawaiians opposed the change from territory to state because, while they had come to feel comfortably “American,” they feared that the Japanese population on Hawaii (perhaps as high as 30%) would, under a universal franchise authorized by statehood, organize and vote itself into power to the disadvantage of the Hawaiians of Polynesian descent.

Mazie Hirono is not the only one over there who suffers from outright madness.

The “spirit of Aloha” burned down Lahaina. Given half a chance the “natives” would turn in cannibals over night.

“As the world turns, it makes no sense for contemporary society to pledge allegiance to the founding era’s culture, realities, laws, and understanding of the Constitution. ‘The thing about the old days, they the old days.’”

Spoken like a true marxist, or a post-modern, cynical, amoral liberal.

Don’t know about you, but I prefer the beaches in Hawaii

If Trump sold Hawaii, it would be bought by China to control the Pacific, and which would immediately re-settle several million Chinese there, and turn the Hawaiians into caricature cartoon displays, like they have done with Tibetans and Uyghurs.

Hawaii is 13th in crime rate (not counting DC as a "state"). And Hawaii's SC figures there's no need to be able to defend yourself.

While I’m not familiar with the oaths sworn by officers of the court in Hawaii, an oath that didn’t include fealty to both the State and National Constitutions would be quite unique.
