California can run all the secession ballot initiatives it wants. But they’re just wasting paper (which should big no-no for all the envio-weenies out there.)
There is no legal mechanism in the U.S. Constitution - or anywhere else - that allows for secession. So if a state wants to secede, the Constitution must be changed to allow for it. Ain’t gonna happen.
This whole thing is just more California Dreaming.
Side point: Article IV, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution provides a way to split up existing states. So yep, that’s the ticket. Split California up into two states.
Here’s what will happen. The measure passes and California’s Democrat legislature votes to secede. In Congress, the entire California delegation is arrested as enemy agents. The California-less Congress authorizes military action.
Millions of Californians die as Federal troops burn everything from San Diego to San Francisco. California appeals to China and Russia to intercede on their behalf. That fails and California surrenders.
Reconstruction begins with veterans of the war getting all available land once owned by California citizens. Harsh laws are imposed and California must pay huge reparations.
And 150 years from now, Californians will still be ridiculed and all schools, roads and buildings will be renamed. Rodeo Drive will become Victory for America Drive. Hollywood High will become General Smith High School, And on it will go.
At least, that’s what happened the FIRST time any state seceded.

This is great.
When it passes, Trump will have the justification he needs to send in the military.
Let Brown suffer the same fate as Jeff Davis.
Maybe we can use his 2600 acre ranch in Yuba county for a cemetary like Arlington.
Where do I sign?
I wonder if Washington, Oregon, and California secede they might decide to become remote states of China or just be an independent country. We could then set up border crossing stations and demand passports for anyone entering the USA and also require import taxes for all goods entering the country.
The Kalifornia boarder stations already exist, just a name change will do it.
This is on I-10 at the CA side of the Colorado River -
(That's how West Virginia came about, remember?)
