l If Texas and several other states said we we’re done could we leave as peacefully?
I’ve wondered if portion of a state could secede from its parent state and begin a new state?
No armed rebellion stuff. Just say **** this and stop being/paying taxes/etc of the parent state.
What are they gonna do?
No. The CHAZ or CHOP or whatever is fully supported by the Seattle government.After the CHAZ nonsense started last week it did get me thinking about seccession. If Texas and several other states said we we’re done could we leave as peacefully?
It's been done before... Article IV, Section 3I’ve wondered if portion of a state could secede from its parent state and begin a new state?
I know, just taking out loud to illustrate the hypocrisy. Anytime someone on the right says we should secede, the left says the feds should be sent it to stop it if we try.Not with the post-reconstruction constitutions. Good news is the Texas Constitution is easily changeable.
Bad news is Scalia and the Supreme Court have ruled that secession on a state’s part is not viable.
Any way it goes. whether we allow them to keep part of Seattle, or go in with force and remove the "protesters" this isn't getter any better as time passes. It's a bad deal any way it does end up going down. This IMO is media nightmare in the making.
Maybe some young smart guy can figure out how to trigger it.Where are those damn fault-lines when you need them. West coast is littered with them.
Just laying in the ground barely even moving, I'll bet.
I hear when Trump is re-elected there will be lots of things triggered on the west coast.

Some of Portland is the same.Oh man, half of Seattle (IIRC, the Chaz included) is built on a man made mountain of soil that given the right quake, is going to liquefy (soil liquefaction is scary shit when you research it) and the city will literally slide into Puget Sound.
FIFYMost of Portland is the same.
