| Secession Plan Floated By Some Northern Colorado Leaders | |
| 2013-06-08 | |
They are planning on calling it North Colorado or Northern Colorado. The counties are frustrated with the new agricultural and energy bills that have recently been signed into law. "We really feel in northern and northeastern Colorado that we are ignored -- citizens' concerns are ignored, and we truly feel disenfranchised," Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway told CBS4. | |

| #20 We could always exile all the liberals to Vegas and build a wall around it. I think if we check back in ten years or so, a manageable population will remain so that people can visit them and see what true lefties look like. Have a monorail go through the city like a zoo exhibit. Armored of course and totally enclosed to prevent monkey poo incidents. |

| #19 The idiots in Denver all fled there from California, then promptly voted for the same moronic policies that fouled their previous nest. This is what the Left does. They are literally too stupid live amongst decent people. Foul the nest and move on. They are a contagion. Eliminating them is the only answer. |

| #18 Basically they have to get the Liberals in Denver to let them go. Which isn't happening. Richmond didn't approve West Virginia's departure. Interesting political maneuvering in making it happen. |

| #15 We could split off Detroit from the rest of Michigan, but Haiti would object to the competition. |

| #12 Could have some interesting ramifications for the Senate and the Electoral College. |

| #11 Article IV, Section. 3, Clause 1 of the United States Constitutions reads: New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States 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. Some of the movements to partition states have or do identify themselves as "secessionist" movements. Basically they have to get the Liberals in Denver to let them go. Which isn't happening. |

| #9 Threats or aspirations to secede from the United States or arguments justifying secession have been a feature of the country's politics almost since its birth. Some have argued for secession as a constitutional right and others as from a natural right of revolution. In Texas v. White, the United States Supreme Court ruled unilateral secession unconstitutional, while commenting that revolution or consent of the states could lead to a successful secession. There's probably some wiggle room within the above statements that allow secession. |

| #8 P2K, give East Saint Louis to Missouri and I'm in on your plan... |

| #7 Maybe, but the state is sucking big time in its budget and unlikely able to sustain the dole as many have come accustomed to. |

| #6 A bit too late for Southern Illinois. After 50+ years of urban party [Chicago] domination, the survivors are now totally dependent upon the dole. :-( |

| #5 Maybe not a bad idea for 57 states - Southern Illinois, Northern Colorado, Central and Northern California, Austinland, Upstate New York, and Westernvania. I'm sure those in the new states would be happy to be rid of the being imposed upon by the others from their former states. |

| #1 The idiots in Denver all fled there from California, then promptly voted for the same moronic policies that fouled their previous nest. It's only proper that the Coloradans who don't want to live in New California would suggest this. The only true democracy is the ability to vote with your feet. |
