    ******************************************

    Now for my own personal input as to how.

    The old Confederacy and the western states should form their own country.

    California, Oregon, and Washington should form a republic of their own.

    New York, NJ, PA, and a few others can decide who they want to unite with or make another country of their own.

    New England might have a bust up too because Maine and VT, NH are nothing like MA, RI, and CT.

    TEXAS of course will be its own independent republic again, but this time, stay that way.

    ************************************************

    We are no longer UNITED states.

    Our reps can never agree on anything and every decision is straight down party lines.

    When a new Prez takes over, they wind up writing zillions of executive orders to cancel out the last set of EO's the last guy did.

    Legislation is now done through Executive orders and Supreme Court decisions as the legislature is so embroiled in hatred for the other side, they are acting like children.

    YES...it is time to break this country up and divide it along tribal lines. In reality it already is, so why not make it official.
    This is not what our country is about. Breaking it up into different countries? What? This all started with Trump. He divided this nation and now we must try to get along as we have always done during any type of situation. We need to fix the damage HE created!

    Amy Klobuchar recently introduced in the Senate a version of the “Protecting Our Democracy” Act. Among other things, it addresses abuses of the pardon power, violations of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and the Hatch Act, completely transgressed in August’s misuse of the White House for the Republican national convention. The bill also extends protections for whistleblowers and inspectors general and limits the abuse of Executive Orders to infringe on congressional authority.
    At the same time, Vice President Joe Biden announced that if he is elected President he will create a bipartisan commission to study reforms of the judiciary, saying that the system is “getting out of whack.”
    And with the current controversy, for example, over a Supreme Court potentially out of step with the country, proposals for correcting course are manifold. They range from adding members, to term limits, to creating a special Court to consider constitutional issues, to transferring the Court’s power to select the cases it hears.
    All of this suggests that the damage done by President Trump may have shaken us from our complacency about our political and legal institutions. Americans now know that they can no longer rest assured of the resiliency of the political and legal institutions
    This nation’s crises often result when leaders indulge expediency—short-cutting, ignoring, or undermining essential norms and institutions. President Trump alerted Americans to his hostility to those norms and institutions in his 2016 campaign when he said, referring to this nation’s problems that “I alone can fix it.” And his failure in handling the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the danger of personalizing power and Trump’s “magical thinking.”
    American history suggests that crisis often births an era of reform. This pattern vindicates what Rahm Emanuel, then-President Obama’s Chief of Staff said in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”


    These moments in our history illustrate that reform can come from any of government’s three branches. But reform and rebirth require not only vision and imagination but also mobilizing public sentiment and putting together broad coalitions.
    Today it is essential that we think broadly and that we ready ourselves for the moment when paths for rebuilding democracy and the rule of law will re-open.

    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Georgia]Amy Klobuchar recently
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Leanne. With all due respect Trump didn't start it. Obama started it. Racism, division by any means possible was his entire platform.

    The nation needs to divide based on race and ideology.

    In that manner they can take care of each other and we can go about the business of doing business.
