"So I’m sorry, California, but I don’t want to go down your road. You can’t force me to go down your road. Does the individual have any right anymore? Does the state have any right any more? And I know, because I’ve heard it from all of the conservative – you know, historians and scholars and everything else, but you can’t convince me that the founding fathers wouldn’t allow you to secede. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. And if a state says “I don’t want to go there because that’s suicide,” they have a right to back out.
