There are Nuts Under Every Tree

Democrats in Pima County Arizona are mumbling about making a new state because they’re upset with the “extremist policies” of the state legislature.

The new state would be called Baja Arizona.

There is only one small problem with this idea (actually there are several but I’ll focus on one). The small problem is Article IV, Section 3 of the United States Constitution which reads:

“New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”

I find it hard to believe that the "extremist" legislature of Arizona would approve the seperation and neither would a Republican Congress.

West Virginia was formed out of a section of Virginia but only because Virginia, as part of the Confederacy, was in rebellion at that time.

Guys, at least READ the document you are sworn to preserve and protect.
