    Initially no. It is important to note that their statehood happened just as a the civil war was. And that post Civil War language was put in place to clarify that this was not an option going forward. Though I am not a lawyer myself. I’ve seen a number of lawyers actually versed in the topic discussing this.

    Believe me I would love it if our state spanning metropolitan area could secede from the red States it’s located in. Because we really don’t get representation at the state level. That’s reserved for fascists. But it’s not an option that’s on the table.
