    Oh, I am fully aware that legislation changes are impossible even under the threat of a continued shutdown. What I’m interested in is usurpation of Congress by the states. Illinois governs a lot better than the feds do, and I very much desire Illinois, California, and other agreeable Democratic states to ignore the directives of the three federal branches and recognize a new three that they all favor.

    I am aware of the Logan Act, and I don’t care. The new three branches will serve the people far better than the old ones. Hell, I would like Illinois to deal with Canada directly so the US’ allies know which states are friendly and which are not. This is also the only way to overthrow the current SCOTUS in our lifetimes.

        It’s the only way out. Those in charge won’t allow any other way.

        People like to hate on Democrats for all the appeasing they do, but they sometimes get hesitant when thinking of the alternative. Freedom isn’t supposed to be easy when you’re subjugated.

        And considering how awful the US military is with quelling dissent in countries they’ve invaded, I’d say the Democrat states have a good chance if they stay focused. Not to mention all the foreign support flowing in due to the opportunity for a regime change.
