With talk of nullification to "protect" illegal aliens and an outright break from the Union, Democrats are rediscovering their roots
By J. Robert Smith
Democrats are rediscovering their roots. States' rights assertions and secession talk, long the domain of disaffected conservatives, are being embraced by today's Democrats. Donald J. Trump's ascendancy to the presidency is estranging Democrats, they say. John C. Calhoun might be smiling from his eternal perch.
Attempts to nullify federal law and talk about breaking away states by Democrats may open a Pandora's box. Pushing for state defiance of Uncle Sam invites red-state conservatives to do likewise in future times, when an Obama clone becomes president and Democrats run Congress – provided, of course, that the U.S. is still intact.
Californians, in particular, are fueling new norms with their determination to be a sanctuary state. Declaring a state a safe haven for illegals defies federal laws. The president has a constitutional and statutory obligation to enforce those laws. But no matter. Democrats are making a bold declaration: states' "rights" supersede federal laws. Red states are taking note. What's good for California today may be good for Texas down the road...... More
My Take - I say let them go, and then declare war on a Monday morning - conquer them by lunch - turn them into two or three territories with military governors on Tuesday - then have Presidentially appointed governors in two weeks. After that let them work to show they're deserving to become states once again - in five or ten years. With the exception of the conservative counties, they will retain the seats already California has in the Senate, whom they will now appoint. All new Resprsentatives will be chosen by a special election. All monies accrued in the reitrement plans from the previous Senators and Representatives will be lost to them and that money will go to the Social Security Administration.
