Let us be clear.
NOWHERE in the constitution does it forbid the congress from ceding territory of the United States. A corrupt, and dishonest court, such as the one we have now, could warp an interpretation of Amendment 9 to state that since it isn't mentioned, a state has the right to Secede.
Technically, this is actually correct. The south was well within its right to leave. Then we fought this thing called the Civil War; but make no mistake, this was justified because of the Confederacy's attack on Ft. Sumpter.
But it is not without precident for a Republic to simply EXPEL a member state when it is deemed a threat to the union. What the congress cannot do is split a state. What we need to do is split the country geographically between the third of trump supporters and the two thirds of us who aren't Fascists. Yes, I get that some of this is a fluid thing, but I think a parting of ways is WAY better than a civil war. Before we even TRY for the Article 5 convention we need; let's just PART WAYS with the conservatives before we even try to reconcile with the Progressives and the moderates.
The simple act of congress; the National Excision act would only require a majority of both the House and the Senate and the signature of the president. It could allow a state to divide itself up, by state wide referrendum (yes, a corrupt court could say it has to be a legislature, but the 14th amendment can override that) and basically allowthe majority of a state in cities to remain in the United States while effectively EXPELLING rural territory that does not reflect the values of the American Republic due to TREASON and collusion with a foreign power.
You COULD try bribing corrupt Red State legisulators to accept Federal division of the state by offering to take the debt of those states. But really, state wide referrendums TO ME meet the criteria preventing the Federal Government from dividing a state.
