About a year ago I looked into that and I think the bottom line is that it's sort of a myth that we can seceded. But wouldn't it be great to not have to worry how all the welfare queens are going to vote in the large cities of the Democratic and liberal hellholes of the East and West coasts?

And once we seceded we go chase all those liberal Californians out of Austin and get that place back to being Texas.

Actually, the probem is that secession without approval by the other states is not constitutional. If the Confederate rational for secession being valid had been accepted, it almost certainly would have led to balkanization of the U.S., with the South balkanizing internally first.

Maybe we can convince the big cities to secede from their states...most downstate/upstate voters will endorse it enthusiastically and at least the State governments will be sane again.
