Good luck at getting the constitutional amendment necessary for that, or the permission of the rest of the country expressed in federal legislation.

Secession by state action is not valid, as the separation would generate many controversies between the US federal government, and between the state which would have to be resolved per Article III at the Supreme Court.

[WildHighlander57]

OK,

I wanted to know what state was the opposite of “all hat and no cattle”.

Oh, you mean the same way the 13 colonies got "permission" to secede from Great Britain?

There is no law that can be crafted by the hand of man, which supersedes the God given right of a people to sever the political bands that tie them to a union which no longer serves, protects, or upholds their pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

“Do it. I will move there.”

I bet Texas would have a strict immigration policy and even build a wall, not only on the Mexican border but also along the five American states that it borders.

Maybe you could climb over the wall without getting shot or maybe you could dig under the wall without being caught and tossed into the furnace of a power generating plant, but you would be an illegal alien.

They’re going to deport their 4.6 million Medicaid and 3.2 million Medicare recipients to New Mexico.

[Secret Agent Man]

got that right.

if you can’t leave how much freedom of association do you have?

it’s not like this step would be taken brashly or frequently.

[Windflier]

What a rational fellow you are.

I think I gave you an appropriate response to your quisling, cowardly reply.

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

[cripplecreek]

The democrat solution.

[DManA]

GFY. I guess that’s the level of you understand.
