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.

Long live the State of Jefferson.

Umm, you better re-read the US Constitution, there is nothing in it about secession, at all.
