I wish I could say that...because most of us don’t have teeth.

I omit “indivisible” when reciting the pledge to the US Flag.
I also recite the Texas Pledge of Allegiance in full.

I think Abe taught Texas about that whole indivisible thing.
And the only hope for a Texas succession would be for a contingent of like minded Texans to move to Loving County and as a county vote to leave Texas and the USA.

Or Texas could exercise the authority in the Texas Annexation Resolution and form four more states, giving Texas eight more senators and thus, at least eight more electoral votes.No State can split itself regardless of what the Congress ever said. The Constitution says the Congress would need to consent to that. Also, the Supreme Court has said that all States are on an "equal footing" with each other. In this case, that means since no other State can unilaterally split itself, neither can Texas.

My kids are Texans. Texas leaves the Union and I am so cashing in on the Anchor baby thing... ;-) I miss Texas.

Then you've not only forgotten why we split off from the British Crown, but you actively support a course of National suicide.

The Republican Party is a joke.
To: Texan Tory
It’s not a republic anymore. It is a Socialist government that is trending close to Marxism.

Or Texas could exercise the authority in the Texas Annexation Resolution and form four more states, giving Texas eight more senators and thus, at least eight more electoral votes. Not without consent of Congress. Read Article IV.

No thank you, I like Dallas just fine.

As a Texan, I don't mind us either leading the secessionist movement or joining it but, right now, I think this article is a little premature. IMO, neither Gov. Goodhair, nor the Texas Legislature are up in arms enough over the Obama nightmare to seriously pursue secession.
The petition drive makes for titillating press but, at the moment, there just isn't any fire to go along with the smoke.

Other states are watching closely, particularly Montana and Oklahoma. It is inconceivable that Oklahoma would stay in the Federal Union if Texas left.

Back at you. You'd take up arms against your own people because they don't want to follow the rest of the Country down the Socialist rathole?
