Can the blue states of USA become associate members too? He has declared that the blue states are the "enemy from within" and may launch the military against us soon.

  Unfortunately, the Constitution (Article 1 Section 10) forbids states from entering into alliances and treaties with other countries, or with one another, without the explicit permission of Congress.

    Yeah, but the federal government is completely ignoring the constitution.
    Which amendment contains the clause claiming the rest of the contract survives if parts are just unilaterally deleted by one side?
