The Calexit Thread

I don't think they're doing the right thing. If California separated successfully from the United States, it will create a domino effect. Florida, Texas, Hawaii, Alaska...will exit too.

They can't, they won't, and anybody who thinks it's a large possibility is not familiar with the ruling in Texas v. White.
The only way they could conceivably do it is via Constitutional Amendment, and that's sure as hell not happening.
Funny, so many leftists screamed about how ignorant it was for Texans to want to secede after President Obama was democratically elected, and the same people are trying to do that same thing.
All because "This guy said some really mean things that offend me."

Nope, Texas v White established that you absolutely cannot unilaterally secede.

Technically if a state was granted permission or fought a successful revolt it could leave the Union but that's probably not going to happen.

So it is possible; all Californian delegation need to do is mind control congress and house into voting for it. :p
