Odd that the author omits to mention the 1869 Supreme Court decision in Texas v. White, in which SCOTUS ruled that the United States was “an indestructible union” and States had no right to secede. Secession is not “legal”, short of a Constitutional Amendment or a successful civil war.
So if Texas is fed up enough with the corruption of the federal government to actually secede they are going to consern themselves with a supreme court ruling of the same corrupt central government? Good luck with that.

and for the past 20 years on FR, there were Freepers who also point out that any ruling can be argued and luckily, overturned. Roe v Wade is an example. You can also be part of a union but have “special status”, the same way Quebec is in Kanada. Quebec IS the reason why canada EXTORTS from the other provinces via equalization payments. I believe TX WILL secede in the future. I been on FR many years and even when obamatard was prez, they keep talking TX turns blue but guess what? It’s been red every time.
Pro lifers should just give up then. Row v Wade made abortion legal, so no point arguing about it. I guess the civil rights movement in the mid 20th century was similarly futile. Plessy v Ferguson clearly made segregation legal. I’m not sure where people get this idea that SCOTUS decisions are immutable dictates from heaven or some such. They can and have been overturned when necessary.
