“It was illegal for Texas to secede the first time and it is still illegal now.”
...and it was illegal for the United States to secede from Great Britain. Our Declaration of Independence is very clear. When government becomes tyrannical, a people not only have a God given right to cast off their oppressors, they have the responsibility to do so. No constitution or court ruling can deny a God given right.
If the federal government violates the pact between it and the states (the Constitution) by trampling the rights of the people, the the states have a responsibility to “...dissolve the political bands that have connected them...” with the federal government.
“...and it was illegal for the United States to secede from Great Britain. Our Declaration of Independence is very clear.”
LaserJock kicks A$$. Good one.
These words come to mind: “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

I had a dream the other day....
“Seems clear enough to me. We have to come up with an official declaration, listing anew the current long train of abuses, to nullify the overreaching oppression, fortified by the language in the original DOI, signed by the governors of the 26 or so states that wish to remain free, then have at it.”
“The trillions in U.S. debt? King Barry can keep it.”
“The United Free States of America ! “ I like the sound of that”. (Goldie Wilson, bttf)”
“As easily the U.N. would recognize all of the “Arab Spring” revolutionaries, I am sure that we would be recognized too. Or not. Eff ‘em.”
“I will move my family to a free state away from Kah-lee-for-nia and join the free militia that will defend it.”
“Withhold all taxes that would have gone to King Barry’s coffers, redirecting them to the new free government.”
“The Marxists are always crying about cutting the Military. So why not, in the lead up to such dissolution of ties to King Barry, we should quietly close all military bases in democrat states, so that when we pull the trigger on such dissolution, there would be no military for King Barry.”
“Sweep all Marxists and Islamists from our midst.”
“If King Barry moved against us, then he will lose.”
“Then pick off neighboring Democrat states one by one, converting them to free states, escorting all of their America-hating residents to Cuba, or North Korea or any other Commie paradise of their choice.”
“Gradually, all that will be left is the District of Columbia for the Commie politicians to hold up.”
‘Oh, say, did you see? By the rise of free states?”
