After the Civil War, succession became a dead letter. You can get into the Union but it will take really extraordinary circumstances to get out. Federalism and the Constitution also makes internal administrative reform really difficult. The state boundaries are what they are. In a weaker federal system like India or in a centralized state like France, you can adjust boundaries as you see fit. Not in the United States.

I also think it'd be wildly selfish of California to do so; if they did they'd be massively screwing the rest of the country in exchange for relatively little benefit, at least as far as I can tell.
