Are you aware that the Texas Constitution recognizes the right of secession, and says so word for word?

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

What they did in Texas doesn't mean piddle.

Wrong again WLAT....

Unlike other states...Texas was a sovereign nation, and we became a state by virtue of a TREATY.

It gives us more options than other states.
