It is great to see a leftist state suddenly embrace the concept of secession, even though they labeled it as racist just a couple of years ago.
According to the Associated Press, if the separatist movement receives at least 585,000 signatures, Attorney General Xavier Becerra will approve representatives to seek authorization to establish a referendum on California to secede from the United States on the 2018 ballot.
Here is more from AP:
The initiative would form a commission to recommend avenues for California to pursue its independence and delete part of the state constitution that says it is an inseparable part of the U.S. The measure would also instruct the governor and California congressional delegation to negotiate more autonomy for the state.
This is the second attempt to put a so-called Calexit measure on the 2018 ballot. An earlier attempt was withdrawn in April.
Whatever their reasoning for seceding from the Union, the left is finally getting to understand the concept of states’ rights. Do they now know that the 10th Amendment and secession aren’t about racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, ageism and Islamophobia?
John Nolte of the Daily Wire had an interesting take on the matter:
In just a decade, imagine what we could learn from, say, a sovereign California and Texas? Two polar opposites on almost every core issue: guns, religious freedom, energy, immigration, taxes, the environment.
Loathing for Trump has finally removed the hot-button issue of slavery and race from the crucially important issue of states’ rights.
This is a very good thing, a seismic change in our culture, in our way of thinking.
Let the secession begin!
