The land bought from Mexico was only to provide a southern route for the railroad to reach the Pacific. The vast majority we took from Mexico was gained because our country felt it was worth fighting them for it.

5 of the top 10 oil refineries in the US are in Texas.
25% of the natural gas reserves are in Texas and 40% of all oil production. They’d probably be ok

So, you are saying you think the State of Texas can win a war against the US Military?

What would they do with all of the leftwing sycophants living in Austin? Texas should have a Conservative Constitution that people moving to the state have to agree to and sign.

Russia approves this message.
Now make a thread about disbanding public education, the FBI, and IRS and Vlad might let you go home early.

Which constitution, how and why?
Really? When was the last time?

Also Houston, DFW, El Paso, and San Antonio, where the majority of the population and the state's GDP comes from.

Which: The US constitution.
How: The Constitution: How Did it Happen?.
Why: "The adoption of the Privileges and Immunities Clause addressed a key problem inherent in the new federal system. On July 4, 1776, the representatives of “one People” had declared that the thirteen “united Colonies” were “free and independent states.” From the beginning, the United States was marked by a tension between unity and multiplicity: one united people but thirteen independent states. And from the beginning, this tension posed many challenges, including the threat that the several states’ independence would turn former fellow British subjects into citizens of thirteen separate republics—mutual aliens, rather than one people.
To meet this danger, the Articles of Confederation included a provision expressly designed “to secure and perpetuate mutual friendship and intercourse among the people of the different States in this Union.” By this rule, the “free inhabitants” of each state would not be foreigners vis-à-vis the others, but instead “entitled to all privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States.” These privileges included the freedom of “ingress and regress” and “all the privileges of trade and commerce, subject to the same duties, impositions, and restrictions as the inhabitants thereof respectively.” This promise was, as Alexander Hamilton would note, the “very basis of the Union.”

Not sure if it was the last one but when Trump said he wanted to take guns early and bypass the courts because they take to long.

The Constitution does not preclude a state protecting itself from people moving to the state for nefarious reasons of sedition by requiring them to sign a contract agreeing that they intend to uphold and protect those values which make that state special. What country is stupid enough to write laws which allow for its own destruction by preventing itself by being subverted by invasion and sedition?

It would not be just Texas and I do not think it would be a violent secession. But if it came to that, do you really think all of the military would side with the socialists in DC?

We did.
Did you not read my post and the associated link?
Are you going to spend the next several posts flailing, deflecting and using semantics to deny what I conveniently posted clearly as fact in answer to your questions?
I suspect so because I have seen this play out before.

and the declaration of independence violated UK law at the time, so what?

this would not be a court case any more than the declaration of independence was a court case. Geez wake up people.

The declaration of independence isn't a legal document.
But it is interesting you would try to use that as an excuse to dismiss the constitution.
Very trumpean of you.
