Hawaii may be on to something. Many there want an election to determine if a new status for the island is needed; the Supreme Court ruled it could not hold that election. If they were to become a "break away republic" the US would have to invade and then billions of dollars in construction and aid costs would occur, just like in other counties we invade (Iraq and Afghanistan). Hawaii could stay in the Union and be ignored or revolt and be heard.
It would place us in a situation like Russia when faced with the loss of their Black Sea naval base they had to invade Crimea when the Ukraine broke away from Russia. We would have to invade Hawaii to protect Pearl Harbor.
On a bright note, conservatives could then claim that Barack Obama was not born in the United States and repeal the last eight years.
