You say never, but then you mention VA/WVA which happened only because of war.
Well, we live in interesting and very bitterly divided times. The last time we were this divided was during the same war that saw the break up of the Virginias.

If this went to a public vote and it passed one judge can just overturn it ... its a waste of time.

I was under the impression that a quake would break up California. I guess the people just don't have the patients to wait.

This is just another aggressive attempt by conservatives to gain power for themselves, like all the voter suppression, religion in government, wars, etc. They just can't live knowing that they can't have everything their so they want to try to force their ways on everyone. They are losing power due to immigration and also young people not wanting their lives dominated by religion, war, and business interests, so they are throwing tantrums and trying to start their own states.
We have a lot of people like that where I work and their basically a bunch of whiny cry-babies because of things that mainly have no effect on them but offend their overly-sensitive sensibilities.
I see people trying to escape the tyranny.

What tyranny? That they can't have an arsenal, and people hundreds of miles away can smoke pot or be gay? Like I said, I know of ton of people like that in Eastern Washington and they all whine about how they hate the democrats outvoting them, but none of them want to move to the republican state next door, hmm.

On the other hand, there's a pretty big area of California that isn't self sufficient, it relies on the more prosperous areas to keep it afloat. Cutting off that support and concentrating all of the money in fewer areas could be disastrous.
