It's a continuation of unnecessary political noise which has become their style of politics. Instead of focusing their attention to important issues and using their time in office to help improve the lives of our people, they are busy calling press conferences talking about issues they don't understand and issues they are incompetent to articulate! What do they know about secession?"
