Texas will never secede

[pyetro]

The federal government will unleash its power against anyone trying to secede from the Union, which is unconstitutional.
Texas is the state more likely to do so at this point.
Texans should be made aware but any such attempt will be crushed, by the use of force if necessary.

Not so sure....

Do States Have the Right to Secede?​

But what if we really do want to divide ourselves into actual separate nations? Could we do it?


The late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia once wrote, “If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede."

Actually, there is.

What Scalia probably meant to say was that there is no unilateral right to secede. One state can't just say, “The heck with you, U.S.A. We're out of here."

What a state (or states) can do, however, is begin the process of seeking a mutually agreed upon parting of the ways, and that process clearly exists, set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 1868 ruling in Texas v. White. That ruling concluded that a state (or states) could secede by gaining approval of both houses of Congress and then obtaining ratification by three fourths of the nation's legislatures. In other words, it's a tough task.

Texas v. White did, however, suggest another way a state might secede: “through revolution." That might be obvious, but it's a point that French, the author, focuses on when he talks about how a California exit could come about, as he did in the New York Times “The Argument" podcast on Oct. 30. It could happen, he suggests, if civil unrest becomes extreme, and the state and the nation simply agree to part ways to minimize the damage.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

California has been threatening (whining) about seceding for years.

If the world can survive Brexit and the breakup of the Soviet Union, why would a State or two leaving the U.S. be any less survivable?

That is hilarious. California is more dependent on Federal aid than any other state. They wouldn't last a month without the gubmint checks flowing in.

Texas doesn't need to secede, we'll just destroy the Dem party and throw those corrupt bastards in prison. That's what happened to asshole regimes like Dems for the last 5,000 years.

No, it will just laugh like the rest of the country.

Right, but for all the wrong reasons. The yankee occupiers have complete economic capture. The state government and much of the population are permanently attached to the federal teat. The yankee education system has falsely and successfully indoctrinated generations into the false religion that lines drawn on paper and man made political structures are perpetual.

Texas can split into 4 more states.

The Joint Resolution for Annexing Texas to the United States,[1] approved by Congress on March 1, 1845, states:

Third – New States of convenient size not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State of Texas and having sufficient population, may, hereafter by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled to admission under the provisions of the Federal Constitution; and such states as may be formed out of the territory lying south of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes north latitude, commonly known as the Missouri Compromise Line, shall be admitted into the Union,

Giving the region 8 more Senators. and more EC votes.
