Topic: Montana and Oklahoma threaten to Secede

mmarsh · June 17th, 2008

Suppose they secede, then what? Its not like NY, CA, IL, or FL. Both of those states rely heavily on Federal aid. Neither state is what I'd call critical to the standing of the USA. They would suffer a lot more by leaving the Union then visa versa.

And BTW, since when did states have the right to blackmail the Federal Government? Due to the extremely conservative nature of the USSC (there is only 1 liberal on the bench) I don't think they will uphold the DC gun ban, but if they do, people will just have to accept it.
