voteinoroutCheyenne, an attorney in government and politics, discusses a "novel legal theory" being explored by Democratic governors in blue states. This strategy, referred to as "soft secession," involves withholding financial resources from the federal government to counter policies they oppose. Blue states, often "giver states," contribute more in federal taxes than they receive, unlike many "taker states" that rely on federal funds. If successful, this could "massively derail Donald Trump and his agenda." The irony lies in using legal theories supported by conservatives, like strong state powers and limits on federal overreach, to achieve this. Legal research is ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain until a Democratic governor tests this approach in court. The potential impact on the balance of power in the U.S. Constitution is significant, as it challenges traditional federal-state dynamics.#SoftSecession #BlueStates #Federalism #StateRights #ConstitutionalLaw #PoliticalStrategy #GiverStates #TakerStates #LegalTheory #StateSovereignty #TrumpAgenda #PoliticalAnalysis #USPolitics—Have you heard the term soft secession? It used to be a dirty secret that state democrats only whispered about, but now, this novel legal theory could be put to the test. Soft secession is the concept of a wealthy blue state opting out of receiving federal funding and keeping as much of their own wealth as possible, effectively insulating the state from federal overreach while kneecapping the administration’s agenda by making their initiatives more difficult to fund. Do you think any blue state governors are bold enough to try this out? #news #politics #lawyer repost @cheyenne.l.huntHelp this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas JeffersonView all 1,874 comments
