You really shouldn't worry about it. It's not going to happen. It's a pipe dream of a few nutty people who actually think that the federal government will let go of their 50 slave economies.

Don't trip. All those people that signed those petitions are now targets of the NDAA. They are all going to be rounded up and won't bother any of us anymore.

Look at who is governing your state. If your state is 100% republican (flyover states) they will be quick to refuse federal welfare funds.
If you're illegal, criminal, or life-long dependent and family dependent on "welfare" - move out to Illinois, California, Conn., or some other liberal bastion - because civil war, or something akin to it is coming.
People are sick and tired of having their hard earned "wealth" redistributed.
Look to abortion being illegal, and capital punishment for pedophiles being legalized in conservative states. If you feel differently, move to a "liberal" state.
TDawg, if you still believe the bold part, it is no wonder you are so confused.

The Declaration of Independence is not law, but rather a well written statement given the times...
It put King George on notice.
But the Constitution is law. And nowhere does it say that states can secede.
It does however give them rights to govern themselves locally.

As I was surfing the web, I came across that states want to break away.
Everyone knows this, but what if you found out that your state is in the deal as well?
That is how I feel, I feel like "WHAT!?"
A video from KSL.com
If this happens, then in my opinion, civil war II will inevitably come.
Thoughts?

Aren't you talking about the Bill of Rights?
What about the Constitutional Amendments?
Originally posted by Honor93
well yes, you cannot discuss the Constitution without the Bill of Rights.
while the BoR stands independent of the Constitution, the Constitution does not stand independent of the BoR.
what about the Amendments ??
are they laws ? - no
have they changed over the years ? - yes
are they permanent once ratified ? - no
please ask a more specific question.
