When Obama’s supreme court bans firearms Texans won't be asking any ones permission to leave the union. Will Obama send in troops to stop the rebellion? More likely he will ask the UN to send a sternly written document and impose sanctions.

I suggest that if Texas wants to leave, they better at least file suit, and say pretty please.

Of course reality isn’t most secessionists’ strong suit.

If you want to get all influential, why not exercise the Texas annexation option to cut Texas up into 5 states. That would give you at least 8 more senators, and perhaps a few more representatives in change. North Texas, West Texas, South Texas, East Texas, and Austin. Ok, that last one would go for the Dems, but still a net gain, right?
