Z,

re: If I wanted to, and tens of millions of others wanted to, what's our recourse?

Maybe a first step would be ballot initiatives in the selected states. But to do that, you would first have to build an organization to collect signatures and get some publicity, and of course money.

This may sound silly, but from a legal perspective you might want to look into what the Florida Keys did when they were threatening to secede. If nothing else, it might tell you what not to do.

You might also try to benchmark any other successful historical secessions. Are there any?

Actually, the effort, even if it failed miserably (probable) might make a serious political statement that could moderate our current 'government gone neo'. Depending on how many folks you could get to go along.

Right now the left is in the denial phase of mourning, but they are going to work through that and eventually are going to wake up one morning REALLY pissed off.
