Welcome to Obama's America, where our states are bribed against the notions of self determination and STATES RIGHTS.

The Constitution contains a provision/process for joining the USA. There is no process for leaving the union after having joined. The only attempt to do so was squelched by force. Interestingly, the Congress did approve the secession of one part of a single state from the rest of that state....while fighting the war to prevent secession by the states. Bedad but I love history.

Technically that's not quite true. West Virginia formally seceded from the Union on April 17, 1861, when Virginia left. At that point, West Virginia was still part of Virginia and it was covered by the secession of its parent state. The people of West Virginia then voted themselves a new government, which then went through a formal legislative process to create a new state and then petitioned Congress to be admitted to the Union. As such, Congress never approved the secession of West Virginia, they simply admitted a new state that had formed on its own, as they had done many times before, and have done many times since.
If these States secede though whats the deal with all the treaties with the native american people, could be trouble on the range yet mammy

I don't see how these guys can expect to be taken seriously. I guess this is a sad reflection of how polarised American politics is these days.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

Bah, this crisis is too small for secession. When you guys get to cca. 15-20% unemployment, then you should get worried.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
I feel like there should be an Onion article in this somewhere but I cant find it.
