[Old Teufel Hunden]

The problem with this whole creation of a new state is Article 4 Section 3 of the constitution:

"New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States 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."

The rest of the state and the Congress has to go along with it. It's only happened once, West Virginia....

One can only hope that the rest of the union would agree to freeing the slaves in California. Because that is how the bulk of the state of California lives, as economic slaves of the left Coast liberal elitez.

Seriously.
