I'd rather have the states have a constitutional convention and amend the Constitution to solve these issues. There aren't enough protections against a Federal government and/or elected and appointed officials gone rogue. Turns out we need to specifically delineate what they can and cannot do (including the consequences).

However...good luck getting that organized.

So yeah, let's fight their way...dirty. Push the boundaries of law, break the ones with no teeth. Threaten. Withhold. Bombard the media to force them to constantly react. Change your mind repeatedly & claim victory each time, regardless of outcome. Fuck 'em.

We absolutely need a constitutional convention. Make secession legal.
