did you even read the article before you posted it?
It doesn't say anything about the ENTIRE state of Hawaii secession, it is talking about indegenious people:
Quote:
allows native Hawaiians to set up a separate government in the 50th state and act as one tribe of indigenous people, no matter where they live in the world.
This is what I found most fascinating and disturbing about the whole issue and it's not that Obama voted in favor of cloture (since McCain did too) it's this:
Quote:
All Democrat Senators were willing to vote for cloture, but not necessarily for the passage of the final version, according to political staffers.
But Republicans played let’s make a deal with theirs, negotiating up until the very last minute. Organized in caucus beforehand, some Republicans who knew they would kill the cloture vote, cast their ballot in favor of the Akaka Bill because they either served on the Senate Appropriations Committee with Inouye, the co-chair, and wanted to show him the courtesy, or because they’d traded their vote with Inouye in previous sessions
Republicans play party politics in EVERY instance....they don't think for themselves and they work as a group, like a pack of wild dogs.
