"Soft secession" might be the best real-world compromise (in terms of minimizing body count or other disorder). This is a term I see crop up at times in the dissident media. As I grok it, it basically means that individual States disregard Federal dictates. It's not all or nothing. A current example is TX's law that proposes to allow the State to deport illegals. This has already happened to a certain extent, such as the aforementioned marilization of legalwana. That, in effect was several States telling Washington f--k you, you say pot is illegal. We say not. And, so far as I know, the Feds blinked. Of course, the background issue is to what extent States have the right to be autonomous. How far will the trend continue? Who knows?
