Regarding that last sentence: it is my understanding that treaties must be ratified by the Senate. nobama CANNOT ratify a treaty, even by presidential order.

Jan 20, 2016 draws neigh, thank the Lord.

Secede — or repent.

The U.S. ratified the agreement by presidential order on Sept. 3.

Somebody didn't read the Constitution.

Yo, Michael, you forgot the most important part. We elected DemocRAT super-majorities to our Assembly and Senate.

Man, we didn't just stick a butter knife into the electrical outlet, we stuck the whole damn utensil drawer into it.

Nope— Our land. Illegal Aliens should be deported forthwith. Liberals should be reeducated at reeducation centers until they repent or property rights should terminated.

Actually it would be better if once cities got large enough they would just become their own countries like monaco or leitchenstein or whatever.

It would clear the progressive dead wood from our country if New York, and LA become their own countries and had to negotiate a trade deal with the heart land to keep their citizens fed, hehe heh

NO SUCH THING HAPPENED AS THEY SAY
The LA Times really is stuck on Stupid and they assume everyone is an idiot like them. The President CAN NOT RATIFY A TREATY, It Requires a vote of at least 60 in the SENATE. They Know this, WHY ARE THEY LYING??

More FAKE NEWS!

Nope because then they’ll declare themselves a Third World country and demand aid and military protection from US taxpayers.

Then I can't wait for Trump to "ratify" mandatory reciprocity of LTC licenses across the country.

“Should California secede? How the state is politically out of step with the rest of the country”

actually, only a half a dozen highly urban counties in California are out of step with the rest of the country. I’d be perfectly happy if those counties seceded and left the rest of California in the U.S.

Didn’t we settle this issue with a war a few years ago? I think 2% of the population or 620,000 men died. I believe it was in all the papers. Can someone help remind me?

Secession would not set well in the “red” counties of Central and Eastern California—and the folks who live there have all the guns.

California is going to secede from the union so they can keep their slaves?
