Constitutional Crisis

There is about an 8% difference between the popular vote victory for Hillary (1%) and the electoral college vote victory for Trump (7%). This represents a significant constitutional crisis that I believe will very soon erupt into Economic Civil War.

The problem is that when it comes to how we can live our personal lives, the Supreme Court of the USA is the ultimate authority, AND they are always selected by the President. To make matters worse, the Republican representatives in government just blocked Obama from getting a supreme court nomination for over twice as long as the last longest appointment took. Understand that Americans value freedom, and what is happening is that conservatives in rural areas have massive disproportionate power to dictate their inbred goat-raping values to people in diverse urban centers:
In other words, one Cowboy in Cheyenne gets to cancel Planned Parenthood, the Environmental Protection Agency, Marriage Equality and Right to Choose for over three tech workers in silicon valley, in spite of the fact California basically pays Wyoming's bills.

There are four possible resolutions:
  1. State secession.
  2. A constitutional amendment changing the way the USA selects its supreme court.
  3. A voluntary adoption of the Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
  4. A coerced adoption of the Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Humor and jokes about the West Coast of the USA breaking off to join Canada in 2016 could be real policy proposals in a few election cycles, just as only humor and jokes in the past were the only sign of a President-elect Trump:
However, what is much more plausible is that the economic powerhouse that is the West Coast of the USA conspire to help the secession movement in TX help TX leave the union. When it comes to politics, the difference between the USA and Candada is Texas.

There are two ways a constitutional amendment could change the way Supreme Court Justices are chosen:
  1. Shut down the electoral college and have the President chosen by popular vote. 
  2. Change the selection of Supreme Court Justices to popular vote instead of presidential nomination.
In our current political climate a constitutional amendment seems even less likely than state secession.

The Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a voluntary agreement that can be adopted into law by individual states, to change the way their electoral college votes are awarded to automatically going for whoever won the popular vote. It's obviously the right thing to do, the moral imperative. Unfortunately the attention-whore swing states and morally-bankrupt fly over states have resisted this gesture of civilization:

But again most of these states-against-freedom get their bills paid by the states-that-want-freedom. So this brings us to the Economic Civil War, or in other words Coerced Adoption of the Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Before Mike Pence became Trump's Vice Presidential Candidate, what he was most well known for was starting the Boycott against the State of Indiana.

If the West Coast of the USA gets nasty enough, state and city boycotts can coerce states into signing on to the Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Florida is especially vulnerable because of their dependence on tourism, and when they fold the rest of the states-against-freedom will understand that the West Coast isn't playing around about this. 

Sure there will be retaliation, sure there will be cries of panic in the fly over states and DC. But who cares? The USA used to have slavery and not allow women to vote, sometimes change is loud. It's time to take our engorged West Coast tits out of the mouths of these spoiled-baby fly over states and show them who pays the bills in the USA!
