And what about the obligations that the country entered into while Texas was a part? The debt and the international obligations? Texas just walks away from that and leave them to the remaining states to deal with, is that it? And those states have no say in the matter? No protections? No choice but to sit back and take it? And what about federal property in Texas? Does Texas just take that without compensation of any kind? How about companies doing business in Texas? If they prefer to remain American companies are they out whatever investment they have in the state?
What about Social Security and pensions owed to the people of Texas? Does Texas pick those up or do the people just lose out? Or would you expect the U.S. government to continue paying those, even though Texas is now a foreign government and her people foreign citizens?
Apparently you would have us believe that only those states leaving the Union have any protections under the Constitution. That those who are remaining have none and have no choice but to accept all the pain and damage that Texas cares to inflict without any recourse at all. And you honestly believe the founders would support such an idea?
Those are the consequences for a usurpatious centralized government.
And anywho, all the other states can declare secession too.
It's just that Texans think they can. The rest have been bamboozled.
Methinks, however, you are a nannystatist. At least you don't seem to get it, nope not at all. . . . Come to think of it I don't know what you are arguing for. What is your point? And what is your real objection to secession?
Not for you to fret over. The property that was Federal is now Texas, They paid taxes they earned it.
