Texas did this once before, in 1861. That didn’t work out too well for Texas.
Maybe it was the company they were keeping at the time ;’}
If Texas voted for a "texit" today, the federal government would respond by sicing the U.S. Army on them.
Why didn’t it work out well? Texas is still a Republic and can leave the Union with no legal repurcussions at all. Now that is not to say that judges and officials can’t make a mess of things. For that matter, I would like to see the entire 50 States break up the federal government, and if they wish to reinstitute a new compact with stronger Constitutional protections, term limits and the death penalty for bribing, and taking bribes for a public servant.
Texas has nuclear weapons now.
DC won’t do squat and no other state will send their national guardsman to fight Texas troops.
“Texas did this once before, in 1861. That didnt work out too well for Texas.”
And we did it before that in 1776. That worked out very well.
