Interesting to ponder but it will never come to fruition. Just like upstate NY wanting to split off from NYC and form a separate state. It's a pipe dream. It is one of those cases though where you'd like to give someone exactly what they wish for then sit back and watch the result.

Hope they do, we could damn up all the rivers that they use for drinking water and watch them all day. California gets 90% of its water from rivers flowing into it like the green river, without that water they would all die
rem, I think you need to fact check. The Imperial Valley might, but it's a flyspeck in comparison to the Central Valley. Try a google search on Shasta Lake, California Aquaduct, Sacramento river, American River, San Joaquin River, etc.
There will be a Jefferson State before there's a California succession, and I don't see either happening in the near future.

I believe the subject was settled in 1865.
Not really. You should note that eleven states had to be READMITTED to the Union. If secession was illegal that would not have been necessary.

No. 1 = California pays their portion of the national debt based on population.
No. 2 = California pays and additional 20% on the taxable amount for what will be called a "LIBTARD TAX".
No. 3 = California agrees to PAY FOR THE WALL,, (no freebies).
