I hope they do, and declare war on Mexico.
That would make my day. |

| They cant. According to the Constitution no state can leave the union. |

Actually, yes they can.
Texas is the only state that can do it without starting a civil war, however, because it was once an independent nation. |

| Texas became its own country from Mexico. The amendment that made it illegal for states to leave came AFTER the civil war. |

I hope they do secede. My sis is in there, and I don't want her to deal with the rapid militarization of police and the totalitarianism that's rapidly being adopted by the US.
I used to be agentrok. -It's not easy being cheesy. |

| After the Civil War, Congress made all Southern states rewrite their constitutions guaranteeing rights for blacks, and outlawing nullification and secession. |

| The US would have to take military action just to prevent other states from following the example. |

| The Scottish Government is attempting the same thing - it's just a waste of taxpayers' money holding the vote, Westminster would not allow the independence, in the same way the US Govt. would not allow Arizona independence. |

| Yes it would be a waste to the USA gov' but it wouldn't be a waste to Arizona if they actually did succeed. But I don't think that is possible giving the fact that the USA gov' will prob slap some scheme or threat even if they did manage to win by the majority. |
