As much as I love the idea of splitting into the United Socialist States of America and the Not Crazy States of America, I don't think it's practical. Where do swing states go? Can they switch back and forth every year? If not, we're back to where we are now. What about transportation, is it cool to send big rigs full of dope across all of those red states from Seattle to Chicago?
Striker's idea of *actually following the Constitution* is much better. Each state can make changes without resentment toward others. Call a Constitutional Convention, add a couple of amendments that undo the damage of a few of our more egregious Supreme Court power grabs, strike out the 16th Amendment, and we're on our way.
