States Petitioning for Secession

[Hashi Lebwohl]

If at first you do not succeed, try again, try again, and try again for a third time. This will be their third attempt to get a resolution onto the California ballot, this time aiming to prompt California to begin a Constitutional Convention to rewrite the entire Constitution and make certain that States are given the right to leave the United States if they so desire.

You have seen those bratty children in grocery stores or malls. You know the ones I mean--the ones who throw a tantrum until they get what they want or, failing that, make certain that everyone around them is miserable. This is how I view the CalExit folks--"wah! we can't get our way so we want to take our marbles and go home! wah!".

The first thing that would happen if California did manage to secede is that Democrats would never win a Presidential election again--when 270 is needed to win losing 55 is an insurmountable obstacle. Of course, the number wouldn't be 270 any more but 215...still, all those blue votes lost would kill the Democrat Party.

I would actually donate time and money to help them leave, if that is what they really want. I would merely be doing be neighborly duty, after all.
