Most of the state split proposals don't involve secession from the US. CA's example just represents how Fresno doesn't want to be told how to live by San Francisco.
The Hawaiian Sovereignty movement is pretty widespread there since many disapprove of how business interests launched a coup against Queen Liliuokalani in 1893.
We routinely describe our legal system as "adversarial" without rancor; it's the same reason why people are advised not to speak with investigators without legal counsel present.
Why would universities deny admission to anyone who could get those sweet sweet federal loan dollars? Admission standards are now more to ensure "diversity" population metrics while profiting from taxpayers and not really being required to turn out a useful product.
Curiously, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which conveniently fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: "A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."
Oh of course we're not, quit lying. We're ranked a distant second to China who puts out twice our output for CO2. If you're also asking about air quality and pollution, we're the eighth best. (IEA is my source, but I don't have a link handy, sorry)
I like how the early 1980s is repeating itself. Reagan was decried as an "idiot who would get us into a nuclear war" and the Japanese were buying up real estate left and right. Today, Trump is going to say Mean Things that will make him somehow responsible for the Norks going off the deep end and the Chinese are the ones buying property. We're going to be fine.
Forget where I saw it, but the gist was "No due process for you, Senator. If the kangaroo court is good enough for college kids, it's good enough for you!"
They can't let it go because then they would be forced to acknowledge that socialism doesn't work. Instead, we'll be fed stories of plucky leaders struggling to find a place for their little country on the global stage despite the nefarious machinations of the eebil Bankers and Corporatists.
It has a lot of teeth, just not really for the state. Just as with the ADA, a cottage industry of trial lawyers popped up to sue/settle with any business they could find that didn't have the sign or to quibble (as with Starbucks) over exactly what words need to be on the sign. This cell phone ruling is just a sop to those same lawyers so they can start pre-litigation shakedowns.

Exactly. There's zero chance that the Dems would ever consider allowing the addition of two Republican senators.

Problem statement: There are idiots who drive our cars. How can we best take fiscal advantage of this?
"You can shift out of park after 20 seconds of this ad"
People who benefit from the current order of graft don't like change to the current order. Weird.
Good Lord, man, go find a college student and buy some weed. You sound like a bloody inquisitor.
Except that there was also no drop in illegal sales.
I'm not a revolver guy, but damn that finish is nice!
Considering that communism is the most successful totalitarian system for murdering dissidents I would think it fits quite well.

Oh look. Totalitarians don't like it when someone pokes fun at their dogma.

Neat! A new definition for "transoceanic"!
There was another documentary about shoving an unshielded nuclear reactor into the polar ice and making the atmosphere that way.
200+ words to say...what, again?

O Sweet Saint Andreas, hear our prayer.
I'm interested to know at which point you consider history to be irrelevant.
