Liberals saying a Donald Trump win means country too divided and we need to seperate…
Is this civilized or inciting civil war?
So could it actually happen?
Possibly – there is no specific ban on state secession in the US Constitution. In fact, there’s nothing on secession in there at all.
Plus, there’s a bit of a legal loophole.
In the case of Texas v White, the Supreme Court said:
When Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.
Did you notice that last bit? ‘Except through revolution or through consent of the States.’
If enough Californians want it, there’s a chance it could happen. HaTTiP
