A 'soft' separation is in our best interest. The Constitution allows one state to enter into a compact with another. Multiple states may also enter into compacts. We see this with the DMV where 47 states have enteted into a data exchange.

Another example is the Atlantic Salmon Compact that permits New England states to manage fish stocks in the Connecticut River Basin. They do this collectively, among the states.
With a failed federal congress, corrupted SCOTUS and dangerous subverses operating within the executive this may be Constitution loving states best option. And it is well within their power.
We could, among our states, sign on to Agriculture, immigration, tech, commerce, and/or education compacts among many, many others that would allow us to regulate ourselves as a seperate entity without needing the federal govt or the malignant states approval or signatures.
We create and establish new partnerships for varying policy areas which hardens the alliances, thus creating strength. Thus begins the 'soft' seperation. Red states combined provide their voters with what theyve actually voted for. No need for New York pork spending.
Among our states we could eliminate income tax as a policy, right to carry open or concealed, no lockdowns, etc. We would basically realign ourselves and by forming these compacts return power from a small cluster in D.C. to ourselves and our states.
Well what if this just forms new bureaucracy? Rotate compact seats of govt every few years, not allowing any 1 area to become an entrenched nightmare of unelected govt types and lobbyists. South Carolina for 2 years, Kansas for another 2, etc.
There would be a lot to take in to consideration, but reclaiming policy power at the state level is vital in any future, regardless of President. Trump wint be around forever and we dont need a Constitutional convention or Congress to do so many of the things we already agree on.
The left is already doing similar things to recall power to the states. We arent. Cali sent Jerry Brown to meet Chinese president Xi Jinping after Paris Accord withdraw. Massachusetts and Maryland refused to deploy National Guard troops to support Trump’s border policies.
Some left states have attempted to enforce their own citizenship policies, with a dozen permitting undocumented immigrants to acquire driver’s licenses and nearly twice as many to allow them to qualify for in-state tuition.
Seven states, along with many municipal governments, have adopted “sanctuary” policies of official noncooperation with federal immigration enforcement. We wont be "losing" anything. We'll be SAVING our states. Otherwise in 20 years TX votes like Cali, N.C. like New York.
Those on the right and who love the Constitution need to stop being afraid to act. Get the RINOs out, get Constitutionalists in, and lets give our posterity something we've saved. We wont have to say "the founders would have". We can say "We did".

Typically excellent piece from @dsquareddigest The exponential insight is especially neat. Think of it a little like fishing...today you can’t export oysters to the EU (because you simply aren’t allowed to), tomorrow you don’t have a fish exporting business (to the EU).


The extremely small minority of people who known anything about this who think that Brexit will be good for the City make a number of arguments which I shall address in turn...

1. They need us more than we need them. This is a variant of the German carmakers argument. And we know how that went...Business will follow the profit opportunity and if that has moved then so will the business...

And what do we mean by us / we. We’re not talking about massed ranks of Euro investing / trading etc blue blooded British institutions.

Au contraire. We’re talking about the London based subs of US, Asian and indeed European capital markets players...As soon as they think the profit opportunity has moved then so will they...it’s a market innit...

"End of Sturgeon?"

Frankly, an appropriate response from @NicolaSturgeon might be to quote the infamous Mark Twain response to an erroneous 'obituary' known to all...

"The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated."

https://t.co/Ce1xVVISR2

More accurately, the media have quoted:

"Ms Sturgeon said she had a “real job to do” and was focused on guiding Scotland through the Covid-19 pandemic."

It's very reassuring to hear that @scotgov and @ScotGovFM have prioritised safeguarding lives and Scotland, above all else.

"I’ll leave others to play games or politics. I have got a real job to do and people can decide themselves whether I am doing it well or not, but I am absolutely 100 per cent focused on leading this country through a pandemic."

💯% 😀👍

Making her priorities crystal clear!

“That’s what I’ve done since this time last year and it’s what I’m going to continue to do for absolutely as long as necessary.”

And again, making it absolutely crystal clear!
