call it the Compromise of 2018 or something like that.
I didn’t know it was possible to further hurt California’s GOP.
I rather they just split the coastal section off into a new country and leave the rest behind.
No prob, just split Texas into 6.
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.So is California going to ignore Article 4, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution just like they are ignoring Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4 and the Supremacy Clause of Article 6? (Well, perhaps I shouldnt ask.)
If the move is purely to seize control of the federal government, then the federal government shouldn’t recognize them as new states.
The Dems hate the United States.
Why form a separate state?
The Dems should form a separate nation!
Then we crush them and march them into the ocean.
Everybodys happy.
Not gonna happen.
The Democrats would have to agree to break up, NY, IL and MI to create 6 safe GOP seats to balance four new seats they would get from breaking up CA.
There is just no way that’s in the cards. When pigs can fly.
If the RATS are pushing it, they KNOW they will pickup 2 more Senate Seats.
Nothing happens in CA without the blessing of the CA DNC.
The split they’re proposing doesn’t make a lot a sense for self determination. It’s not along ideological lines, which to me is the only reason to do so.
No. They only want this to gain more leftist Senators.
I hadn’t thought too much about it having a PARTISAN political motive until we all saw the county-by-county lines of the breakup that is being proposed.
Mainly, what is to remain of California, comprising many counties along the coast, does not include what I think should very naturally be included, taking in more of the “Liberal” “west coast” instead of, as the proposal does, plops some of the Liberal coastal counties into the other two segments, Northern and Southern California, which might otherwise be more “Red”.
By making the “cut off” of the northern end of “California” to include Montery County but no further, it cuts off the naturally Liberal counties north of that but below Marin and lumps them into what would otherwise likely be a “Red” Northern California. I would add the counties of San Benito, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara (Silicon Valley), San Mateo, Alameda (Oakland), San Francisco and Contra Costa to “California”. I would also add Bakersfield County (immediately north of Los Angeles County) to California.
By removing those counties from Northern and Southern California, I think those two counties have a better chance of registering “red”, and leaving the majority of “Liberal” California together and to itself.
Anyone for making a new formal breakup plan???
Metastasizing a cancer.
