I've heard talk of late, and in the past, about California threatening succession.
O.K. I understand there is a provision in the Constitution for succession, but that's not my point.
I've read the United States constitution. I don't profess to be a scholar on the matter, but I don't recall a provision for involuntarily removing a state from the union.
The constitution was ratified by the states.
It should follow that states remaining in the union should abide by the agreed upon law of the land.
In this light, I believe the founding fathers missed a potential issue when they did not pen a provision to banish a state from the union when they decide they no longer need to play by the rules.
I really don't see how California can be repaired. It is a failed state, politically, financially, and even morally.
Like gangrene, it should be removed before it infects the rest of the body.
