> There is no Constitution clause saying that the Union must be preserved no matter the cost...

You’re correct, there isn’t.

However, the question of the secession of Texas was put to the Supreme Court in 1869, and the Court already ruled.

The Court is not last because they’re right, they’re right because they’re last.

“It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is.” —Marbury v. Madison (1803).

Again, how many B1 bombers does Texas have? I understand your emotion, but secession is a fool’s errand.

Ok you are now on record as saying that you would take up arms against citizens of a state seceding the Union. Such a hero. Fascist.

As has already been pointed out, the Court is wrong on occassion. Roe V Wade, Inter- Inra-State commerce, gun control...

Secession doesn't have to go into kinetic diplomacy territory. That's up to your buddy Barrack.
