While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
The "New California" movement may be irrelevant if the President declares California to be an insurrectionist state. The law that then comes into effect allows him to disband the state government and institute martial law until a law abiding state government is in place. Congress can do nothing to stop the President in this, and the courts are not allowed to intervene. Only President Lincoln has ever used the Insurrection Act, in force since 1807.

(Zoom in to read the labels that make it clear;^)
But we could leave each state to it's own devices and have a federal government for protection only...oh wait...that's what the constitution was all about...laughting
The constitution had some flaws which took a long time to be apparent. Lack of sanctity of private property was one of the big ones. Should have been "live, liberty, and property"- instaad of "happiness".

In order to accomodate the vast variety of states, and still maintain a coherent pattern of freedom is an impossible task as-is. Adding more states will only complicate the problem.We must stop making claim to parts of the Carribean as well as Samoa and the Phillipines.
I'm in agreement that we have enough states, now. Rather, let the liberal portion of those states split off into separate Socialist countries. They're half way there, now...
