So would YOU take up arms against a seceding state(s)? Would you advocate invading a seceding state(s)? Are you a fascist? I think so....

This is so exasperating. The thread asks “Can Texas legally secede?” The answer is an unqualified NO.
SHOULD Texas secede and, if so, WHAT would be the ramifications is a different question.
I think such an attempt would fail and would require not a shot fired (see some of my ruminations upthread).
But don’t get upset at me because the factual answer doesn’t agree with some fairy tale people carry around about Texas having some sort of special escape clause. It doesn’t.
And don’t get mad at me that the USC does not provide for secession (nor should it). If you think all states should be able to secede at the drop of a hat that is a different discussion, but not a legal one.
