Well, we tried that here in Virginia (and a few other states) a few years back, and the Yankees invaded and stomped our asses back into the Union. Of course, the Yankees wanted and needed US for their very survival, so they really kinda had to... California, probably not so much. maybe they can get away with it - I doubt anyone would notice or mourn their departure.
The only real problem is that the border wall would have to be extended a lot more to keep them out of the US, too. I have no doubt that after a couple years, they'd be invading to try and get back in.
I know that territories have to be voted IN to statehood by Congress, but I wonder if there has ever been a case of voting a state the hell OUT of the US? Maybe we should consider that to help the little darlings along. I'd pay good money to see that happen!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
