Related: About this forumOne takeaway from the latest episode of "The Orville" (SPOILER)
So with the Union expelling Moclus and embracing Heveena's colony, I got to thinking...
Are there any constitutional guidelines for the US to expel any states that really got out of hand (I'm sure we can ponder certain examples)?
I know a state can't secede legally but is there "Don't let the doorknob hit your ass" provision hidden somewhere in the annals of American legal code--and that would be weird if not, given existing laws that tell you what position.
Just a thought.
