Supervisors of Suskiyou County in northern California have voted to secede`from the state and form a new county called Jefferson County, with laws that conform to the Constitution. Under existing laws, secession would require the approval of the U.S. Congress and the State Legislature, which is not likely. An absurd concept: having to get approval from the political entity you are seeking to separate from. 23 states have at one time or another had unsuccessful attempts by counties wishing to secede.
I would take it one step further: secede not just from the state but from the country. And the state can secede, as well. The United States is just that: a collection of individual sovereign states, each with the retained power and authority to decide whether or not it wishes to continue to be affiliated with the other members of the United States.
What a wake up call that would be to the self-impressed, power-wielding, overbearing politicos in Washington, D.C. Shape up, or we ship out! Think of it as political divorce. Obey the Constitution, or we don't complain, we leave. We did not, do not and never will agree to the imposition of unConstitutional laws and bureaucracies upon us...and we will not reward you with our sanction...we will not let you do to us as you wish, impose unlawful burdens upon us, and limit our response to ineffective verbal complaints (which will likely achieve nothing). We are ready to take effective action now.
In other words, we will learn and implement the lesson taught us by our Founders.
