Re: North and South California (another innocuous CE post)
Can California even legally do that? It seems to me that this would be a Federal issue, that California would have to lobby Washington to OK this. Otherwise it becomes an act of secession. I just see us with a was of Secession in California, one Californian against another.
Isn't this because Conservative Californians are pissed off that their State votes liberal in Federal elections so the conservatives feel they are not represented? On that same note, we'd also have to split Texas and half a dozen other states. In Missouri, we'd have to have Kansas City and St. Louis banded together and the rest of the state a second state.
It's silly.
