Secession is not a legal option

My understanding is that for Texas it is - something about their status and inclusion into the Union.

Regardless, legal issues in this day and age under a tyrant are specious - only one side apparently is playing by the rules - Obama routinely ignores it.

Finally, the precendent for legality was set by the Union when they won the Civil War. IOW, winner sets the rules. My feeling is that ultimately, secession, or Civil War, or both or just complete breakdown and third world anarchy is the end of this.

As I said, secession for Texas is not an option.

Secession or Civil War in general won't happen either. This country is far too mixed, unlike the 1860s, and more people care about who won American Idols than what any politician is doing. People are too damn lazy to want to rebel. I live in Texas, cameras are going up all over this place, even in so-called "conservative" parts of Texas, local law enforcement is getting drones and cameras on their police cars that scan and catalog license plates. Houston elected a lesbian for mayor, Dallas elected a lesbian for Sheriff, and nobody really cares. Fox News, the supposedly "conservative" news network is pushing almost as much sleaze as the liberal networks, and the parent company is promoting homosexuality to children, yet nobody cares. Your best chance was a few decades ago.

Texas is a unique case but it has too many patriots to want to split this country.

If the USA falls there is no hope for mankind. It is was and always has been “the last, best hope of mankind.”
