Topic: California Prop. 9
Catherine !ttGirlsPl2 started this discussion 7 years ago #80,194
This prop is the most concerning to me even though the California Supreme Court removed it from the ballot. This was the prop that if voted yes on would have divided the state into three. Northern California, Southern California, and California.
At some point in time this accumulated enough signatures to get on a ballot before it’s removal. What if this happens again in 2020 especially when Donald Trump is seeking re-election? This whole split the state shit is getting retarded right down to the naming.
Texas never has this problem and they are allowed to split up into six states.

Simple enough. Anyone can get enough signatures to put anything on the ballot - ANYTHING - Say for instance someone wanted to create an Assignation Squad of 10,000 Californians to kill a not very well liked US Political Leader - A Pussy Grabber for instance.Do you think them Judges wood allow such a measure to appear on Ballot? This is the bottom line as to Y it's gone gone gone

So, the reason California wants to split, is based on the Jefferson state movement. THEY believe that northern California and southern Oregon have been ignored and abused by the capitals of their respective states, represented by the two x's in their flag. The 6 state proposal is California's answer to their demands, by making it about division on multiple levels, when no other districts are as poorly treated as northern California.

Texas doesn't have this problem because the state works better together politically and economically as a whole than California does.

Article IV, Section 3, of the U.S. Constitution states that Congress must approve any new states. But Texas’ claim to an exception comes straight from the 1845 joint congressional resolution admitting Texas into the Union. It reads: “New States of convenient size not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State of Texas and having sufficient population, may, hereafter by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled to admission under the provisions of the Federal Constitution.” Supporters of Texas division say this means that Congress pre-approved a breakup.

Like I said, it's not a problem because they work together better as a state, so they don't vote about splitting up. There was a decent amount of talk about succession but not really any specific action I saw. But the idea of Texas as a nation is ingrained in most Texans, and there are many folk who use the laws that are "nation of texas" laws that contradict the state laws.
The only thing that I find confusing legally is dry and wet counties, in some areas where there are inter county communities, you can be perfectly legal on one block and illegal on the next. But I didn't experience that too much, that's mostly in the Dallas Fort Worth area

The generation of folk who have that knowledge in the forefront of their mind is dying off. I don't know if there's ever been a specific large movement for succession during my lifetime, but I'm not a native Texan, maybe squeegee or Harley and Krodan might know more about the historical focus in that
