Not a single state is seriously going to attempt to secede.
This is all just drama queen nonsense and political posturing.

But you already knew that, right?

1. DUers are using it to bash Southern states, again.
Even though Alaska, South Dakota and Oklahoma aren't Southern states.

It gets tiring, it does.

4. It's a knee jerk thing here.
Southern states seem to make a convenient target.

9. Oklahoma isnt Southern?
in what land? If i lived in Louisiana and the area was referred to as "Ark-La-Tex0Ohama" then its certainly part of the south.

8. We have way too many states
States should be merged until only about ten remain.

By cleverly combining adjoining states it should be possible to contain the nutcases in one or two states.

Then, if they want to secede, let 'em. They can take jeebus with them.

5. Different states are posturing on this issue for different reasons.
Some for good: medical marijuana, euthanasia, marriage rights, etc.

Some for bad: anti-choice, anti-gay, etc.

But they ain't EVER gonna secede.
