They dissolved the republican government before attempting secession ...

When did they dissolve their "republican" government?

Not true. Some were kept out. That's what makes it a coup.

Felons can't vote in elections. Is that a "coup"?

They were not elected in free elections, nor due process elections.

And what Supreme Court arrived at that conclusion, and invalidated their elections?

As they should've done according to Article IV, Section 4.

Who invaded Texas, or where is the appliciation to the federal government from the legislature or governor?

That was unconstitutional according to Article IV, Section 4.

Immaterial.

Proves it had the assent of the Chief Justice, and the people.

You just proved a coup yourself. Some were kept out of the process further proving the coup. What about my Alec Baldwin example. Would you consider that legitimate?

Who the heck is Alec Baldwin & why should I care? Was he a citizen of Texan? Where is any proof of anyone being denied a vote, or the decision of a Court invalidating the results?

When they handed the gavels to thugs.

Keeping legitimate voters from participating is a coup. Handing the gavels of power to someone unelected is a coup.

And what Supreme Court arrived at that conclusion, and invalidated their elections?

I can read the Constitution and the Constitution guarantees republican government, not thuggery.

The citizens have a right to republican government as Article IV Section 4 says.

The people were kept out and the Constitution is for the people, not just for justices.

You refuse to answer my hypothetical because you can't answer it. In order to be consistent, you would have to agree that Daschle could do as I said.

The Court was part of the coup.

[4CJ] Felons can't vote in elections.

Whether a felon can vote or not varies by state.

INCARCERATED FELONS can vote in Maine and Vermont.

Other states have not yet reached that degree of enlightenment.

Disenfranchisement laws vary from state to state

Maine, Vermont and Puerto Rico never strip away voting rights due to felony convictions.

Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah and the District of Columbia deny the vote to inmates, but grant the vote to citizens who are out of prison, on probation, or on parole.

California, Colorado, Connecticut, and New York only allow people on probation to vote. Parolees, and those in prison are disenfran­chised.

Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin disenfranchise all citi­zens on probation, in prison and on parole.

Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming effectively take away the vote for life from all or some citizens with felony convictions, including those who have fully com­pleted the terms of their sentence. Some of these states may restore voting rights through a lengthy and difficult pardon, appeal, or clem­ency process.
