The states entered the union voluntarily. There’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to leave voluntarily. What they don’t have the right to do is wage war against the union. And why would Texas want when the statists and globalists are on the way out?

Because that isn’t what they signed up for. When they became a State, they became a State forever. Voluntarily.

Not exactly true. States that were once territories have no right to secede. Territories were bought and paid for by the federal government and as such are owned lock stock and barrel by the federal government.
