I’ve read all the various treaties and ordinances by which TX entered the Union.

Contrary to popular opinion, none of them have any language that would allow for secession.

They do allow TX to split into up to five states, if TX and the Congress so decide. But then any state can split up on the same terms, so that’s no big deal either.

If the federal government isn’t abiding by the contract by which the states entered the union, ie forcing their residents to buy something and henceforth fining them if they don’t buy said thing, do you really think Texas should abide by their contract to the FEDgov?

If Texas does, I’d ride a bike from NYC to Texas. I want to get the heck out of here anyway, away from Daddy Bloomberg and his Socialist utopia.

You are so correct. But we can fly our Texas flag the same height as the U.S. Flag.

So? Who cares? We have immigration laws and gun running laws and the Feds don’t follow these either.

If Texas goes, I’m moving to Texas.

“They do allow TX to split into up to five states.”

Can you provide link for that?

Thanks.
