I have said and written many times that the United States is on a path toward disunion. We are separating ourselves into distinct zones, Red America and Blue America. Red states are getting redder (and more prosperous) and blue states are getting crazier. A nation cannot exist half slave and half free, nor can it exist half socialist and half free. Unless something changes, the road we are on leads to separation–not civil war, but peaceful, albeit painful, disunion.
What could bring on such a crisis? It might come sooner than we think:
Friday on MS NOW’s “On the Line,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) revealed Democrat lawmakers were “absolutely” discussing expanding the Supreme Court and implementing term limits.

Host Alicia Menendez asked, “Before I let you go real quick, you’ve advocated for expanding the court from 9 to 13 seats. Is that now a conversation that is happening inside the caucus?”Jayapal said, “Absolutely it is. Absolutely.”
Most observers think that if a Democrat wins the presidency in 2028–a 50/50 possibility–and if the Democrats control the House and the Senate by even a single vote, they will abolish the filibuster and pass extraordinarily radical legislation, including admitting new states to the Union (the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, adding four Democratic Senators) and packing the Supreme Court.
If the Democrats pack the Supreme Court, we can expect some radical rulings from justices in the mold of Ketanji Jackson. For example, such a court likely would do away with the Second Amendment by reversing all precedents and holding that citizens have no right to keep and bear arms. That would be a prelude to firearm confiscation at either the federal or state level.
How would a state like, say, Texas, respond to such a ruling? Texas should, and I think would, respond by saying that the Democrats’ power grab and unconstitutional actions are illegitimate, and that the rights of Americans enshrined in the Constitution will continue to be recognized within its borders. Many other states would say the same.
Likewise, a Democrat-dominated Supreme Court probably would reverse current law and hold that race discrimination is legal, as long as races favored by the Democratic Party are the beneficiaries. Here again, many states would refuse to go along with such an immoral and unconstitutional agenda.
Most people think that disunion is only a remote possibility. But if the Democrats take control in 2028, I believe that a national crisis, potentially leading to disunion, could soon follow. It would depend on whether the Democrats follow through on their current plan for a radical restructuring of our government that would entrench their power indefinitely.
