California 3 state proposal:

[soulezoo]

With all due respect, I really, really doubt any of the dividing or seceding plans will ever happen in my lifetime. But yeah, the Jefferson plan is better.

I agree

But the state isn't even being divided up equally. I know more people live in the "New California" area, where most of the money is and influence is. Would this have to pass the US Congress?

Its divided based on population. Yes It has to pass the US Congress.

That's kinda how I see this unfolding. Basically a power grab. A liberal progressive movement.

Yes.

Article IV - The States Section 3

Clause 1:

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State 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.

When I look at the map of the new 3 part California, I see 6 democratic senators in DC if this passes.

It won’t pass muster with the rest of the country.

Not overly concerned with this.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the liberal American voters.

Maybe we can trade them all for Puerto Rico?

It may pass in CA but it will never make it through Congress.

It may pass in CA but it will never make it through Congress.

And then I guess we get to hear democrats start bitching about states rights...again
