Hopefully they will take the 9th District Court with them. :)
Read that wrong, leave the 9th District in 'old' California.

I think the Trump Administration should establish a new District Court to reduce the area covered by the 9th. Let the 9th cover (old) California and Hawaii, and let the new court cover the rest of the 9th's territory.

Well you can look at the map and see two big issues right off the mark. The division would throw the $65 Billion California High Speed Rail Project into the drink which has largely been constructed so far in the blue area. Likewise most of the water and electricity for the yellow Liberal run areas is produced in the Blue areas. Both would serve to really undercut the economy of the yellow areas. Based on that alone the yellow area would not have much of a chance. The Blue areas should have the money and resources to depose those in power in the yellow areas via organization and fund raising which would be cheaper.......if they can't do that via political organization and campaigning then they aren't going to get the more expensive New California proposal to work.
I do believe that California has been hijacked by the far left and can understand the frustration. However, they are all vunerable at the ballot box and I would think the blue part of the state could remove them without a whole lot of effort.

Divided we fall. We are better than this. Many have sacrificed their lives to preserve our freedoms.

Please don't take this as me being snarky or setting a trap; why do you perceive this to be a problem? I come from a Blue State, Michigan. Michigan has around 85m counties and a handful of them dominate state politics. The rural, agrarian northern counties, are almost completely at odds with the metropolitan, urban and suburban souhthern counties. I only dislike the situation enough to complain, not enough to actually do something, but I'd love to here what you feel are the cons. to California separating into two entities where the populace of each feels better represented in DC.

Maj John Bell - I didn't even read the article. My response was solely about the growing division in the USA. If they want to divide that's their call. IMO we should be uniting vice further dividing, and that's my point in general. Having now read it I can see why they want to do it. It might catch on, and lead to other states disowning the metro areas because they are in the "too hard to manage" category. On a National scale that could promote an Us & Them mentality. The "New" territories flourish, while the rest shoot it out for survival. They continue to decline and we see what happened to Detroit many years ago. I don't live there, so it's not my call except I don't believe we can then truthfully claim the title of United States of America. More like the states formerly known as united, and the New Improved United States. Or The Semi-United States of America.

CWO3 (Join to see) - I agree that it could lead to an "Us VS Them situation." Unfortunately I don't think that the founding Fathers could have foreseen such a profound imbalance in population distribution between "city mouse and town mouse." My political views are not so terribly different from some "LGBTQ rural North Rednecks" (trust me there is such a thing and not just a few, it about a third of my social circle) as from some urban "progressive" Republicans. There is also a growing population of young "back to nature," disillusioned, Hundreds of thousandaires, (not quite millionaires but relatively wealthy for being so young) former IT professionals who came up to the rural North extremely liberal, that are now center left or center right.

Maj John Bell - I read that they have compared it to W. VA's formation but didn't read further. If it makes them happy then it's their call. My first thought when I hear a group wanting to split off is that they feel the current system is not working for them and they are using legal means to change it. Thanks for your response.
