While I think it would be fun, and would love if my state did it too, the US Civil War kinda put the kabosh on secession.

Please don't confuse the headline with the meat and meaning of the article.

The headline mentions secession. It’s nowhere in the article.

No, Obama will pass amnesty and Texas and Arizona will turn into blue states.

So if you do something that is perfectly legal and someone does something ILLEGAL to stop you, does that make what you were doing wrong?

The answer is not secession it is just total disobedience of Federal Laws and not just by Texas but all the red states. Just like the activists of the 60's-70's just lay down and do nothing to observe the laws. The feds do not have the manpower or the capability of doing anything significant. The states hold back on their taxes and just disobey the repressive government regs. Screw 'em. When they come to call...just tie them up in court. Sort of like pulling a "Harry Reid" on a national scale.

I don’t care if we can’t legally secede or not! We have our own infrastructure we have our own ports we have a row natural resources. All we have to do is agree as a state and cut off the federal government!
