Texas closer to seceding

[lennypartiv]

No, it is not. If ever the lege was stupid enough to try it, the 49th Armored would be federalized, deployed, and every MAGA legislator in Austin would be arrested.

Ah yes the liberal plan of arresting politicians they don't like.

Fact check: SCOTUS ruling, history contradict claim Texas has ‘absolute legal right’ to secede

The outcome of the Civil War and a Supreme Court case when Texas was waiting to be readmitted to the union both show Texas cannot unilaterally secede.

It would make a hell of a statement, even if it was a toothless one.

"Texas v. White, 74 U.S. (7 Wall.) 700 (1869), was a case argued before the United States Supreme Court in 1869.[1] The case involved a claim by the Reconstruction government of Texas that United States bonds owned by Texas since 1850 had been illegally sold by the Confederate state legislature during the American Civil War. The state filed suit in the United States Supreme Court, which, under the United States Constitution, has original jurisdiction on certain cases in which a state is a party.

In accepting original jurisdiction, the court ruled that, legally speaking, Texas was and remained a state of the United States ever since it first joined the Union in 1845, despite it later purporting to join the Confederate States of America and despite it being under military rule at the time of the decision in the case. In deciding the merits of the bond issue, the court further held that the Constitution did not permit states to unilaterally secede from the United States, and that the ordinances of secession, and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding states intended to give effect to such ordinances, were "absolutely null".[2] The purported bond sale during the civil war was thus void and the reconstructed Texas remained the legal owner.. . .

Politicians are not exempt from the law when they are being traitors, buddy boy.

I am the linky. I've lived here since '78 and know the whole history of a handful of Texans stupidly wanting to secede.

.

Nice try, but it doesn't work here.

Come back when you've got something.

This crap seems to come and go in cycles. Waxing and waning depending upon the grievance levels of certain politicritters.

What if Texas just declared themselves an "autonomous zone" like the progressives did in Seattle during the George Floyd riots?

Doing that apparently isn't traitorous.

I added a link with an edit. The secessionists were upset because they had amassed 139,000 signatures in a state with a population of 29.53 million people. Talk about a minority!

They only do it to "save democracy" though...

. . . . hmmmmmm

Ya know. .. that just might work.

I think it depends on the reason though.

If they claim to be autonomous because the rest of the nation has too many guns, and is racist, sexist, homophobic, and the leaders are trans Hispanic queer liberated post modern trans-humanists..

That might actually work. . .

So Texas will become a blue state forever?

The GOP would never win a national election again.

Americans, and more so, Texans, have traditionally been an optimistic and forward looking people.

For most of our two and an half centuries, partisanship was not more important the our basic optimism and founding principles.

Red state? Blue state? None of that was more important that our basic shared principles.

Now? The international oligarchy seems to have SO subverted and destroyed that. . . and. . . this optimism and forward looking hope seems to be gone? Day by day, this seems to being vanishing.

One thing I can tell you, there will never be another American civil war. . . There will only be another global war, and that will split America, along with the world. It will spit it, into those who care about its founding enlightenment principles, and those who want to destroy it, in order to create a global technocratic police state.

. . and that? Has absolutely nothing to do, with, "blue states," or "red states."
