Don't kid yourself. CWII is already here. Any judgement in favor of Texas is going to set the libtards off into a tizzy and any judgement in their favor is also going to set them off into a tizzy.
Be prepared. Be armed.
I am not kidding myself.
But, the difference between a 5-4 and 9-0 is important. a 9-0/8-1 type decision would convince a lot of passive liberals to accept the outcome. a 5-4 would leave the decision open to the charge of partisan politics.
It does make a difference.
