    Do you fail to realize they are already there and you are not displacing them for any reason.

    there is no constitutional mechanism for you to form your own state.

    The OP is going to be spending his life in court fighting the thousands of lawsuits that will be filed from every direction, not to mention he will need a bank account bigger than Trumps to pay all of the legal fee's, fines and forfeitures.

    Are you going to censor the internet, too, so people can't access Fox News online?

    Given that a lot of the younger generation access's the net from their wireless devices that's not happening.

    You know every time the OP posts a new idea, this dream of his sounds more and more like living in the old Soviet Union or Cuba.

    Said license specifically forbids you to discriminate based on content.

    So you think you can convince 2/3 of the state legislatures to agree, and congress to agree to a new constitutional amendment, letting you form your own state?

    The 11th amendment works wonders, you can't sue a state that you do not live in, Surely the supreme court would uphold a law stating you can not move in for the intent of suing.

    State law is restricted by the 1st Amendment -- which does not allow the state to discriminate based on content.

    My mistake, I misspoke. you actually need 3/4 of the states to ratify an amendment.

    we won't let you.

    The constitution gives congress the power to admit new states, it must only be passed by a majority of the state legislature and a majority of congress not an amendment, thats why we don't have 30+ amendments stating states are not part of the union.
    How are you going to stop, a private company from buying up dirt cheep land.

    you are attempting to annex land that is currently part of a state, to form your own state. That would require a constitutional amendment.

    I'm not. We will stop you from annexing it from your state, to form your own state. You can buy as much land as you can afford. You will continue to be bound by the constitution, and US law just the same.
