How the mighty has fallen

Oh California, you were once the envy of the nation. Now, you're just a laughingstock. I really can't argue with anything said here:

It’s the proverbial morning after and with votes counted, California has won the Dumbest State Award in a historic landslide of monstrous proportions.

All Californians can now see Greece from their bedroom windows. No need to even go to the backyards and crane their little necks.

The author brings up something that has been on my mind since yesterday evening:

...if they keep it up they’re going to face a loud demand from the other 49 for their statehood and immediate, irreversible secession by force.

To my knowledge, there is no provision in the Constitution that allows the United States to kick a state out of the union so I don't think it's currently possible for that to happen. But given that California is almost certainly going to end up completely bankrupt, and will demand the rest of the nation bail out its collective ass, it may be time for an amendment adding such a provision. After yesterday, it could very well pass the House, but probably not the Senate. But that's not the only way an amendment can be proposed. I think it's high time for a good old fashioned Constitutional Convention.
