“Common misconception, but incorrect.”

Not really..
Texas stops remitting taxes.
Texas says “we’re done”

US can invade Texas. Is the USAF going to carpet bomb Dallas? The USMC going to “Shock and Awe” Lubbock? USN going to Storm the Beaches of Houston/ Corpus Christie?

if Texas says “No Mas”.. Does the US have the will and stomach to back it up militarily?

I didn't say Texas can't do it--I said they did not "reserve the right" to secede when they joined the union.

i’m thinking that if it is 2000 counties mostly with guns versus 30 counties largely without guns, which side is more likely to win?

and f-16 bombings may elicit shock and awe, but don’t win the war on the ground.

it struck me as funny (although not haha funny) that so many judges, journalists, politicians and pundits could come out of the closet and exclaim with straight face that texas had no right to protect its citizens by enforcing federal border crossing laws.

the feds should be working on behalf of the individual sovereign states, not vice versa.
