Isolate the wackos in SF and LA and let them tax/regulate those cities out of existence, meanwhile leaving everyone else alone. I don't think it will happen. I think it has to be approved by the FEDs as well. |

Heterozygous User ID: 39127977 United States 01/07/2014 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.washingtontimes.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1103753 [link to nextbigfuture.com] A November ballot measure will let voters decide if they want California split into 6 states. States to be called: 1. Jefferson (Far North California) Capital: Crescent City 2. North California (Napa/Sacramento) Capital: Sacramento 3. Silicon Valley (Bay Area/Big Sur) Capital: San Jose 4. Central California (Central Valley/Sierras)Capital: Fresno 5. West California (LA Basin/S. Barbara)Capital: Santa Barbara 7. South California (Inland Empire/San Diego)Capital:San Diego Could California break up? Let me guess. The republicans are the biggest proponents because the electoral college would be split and the democrats would have little chance at winning another presidential election. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 975341 US Constitution Article IV, Section 3: New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State 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 really, only the legislature of California and the Congress need to consent to this. The vote really just gives a mandate to the California lawmakers. |

Bad idea. 2 wacko democratic senators from California is bad enough, but with the demographic makeup of some of those regions, the potential is there for maybe 6 more whacked out democrat senators. |

Well, we have the case of West Virginia which could be argued was illegally admitted to the Union since the parent state of Virginia was not a party to it's creation until after the Civil War was over and Virginia was able to assign a share of its war reparations to West Virginia. You just have to find the right bait. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 51115922 United States 01/07/2014 11:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hate everything about California EXCEPT San Diego/Inland Empire. Most people don't realize that SD and the eastern areas are actually very conservative spots with lots of military. It's got the scenery of California but not nearly the amount of silliness. Yeah, the local government is f*cked, but that's pretty much everywhere anyway. I'd be all for it. |
