Secession was advocated pre-"Civil War" by several New England states over tax issues.

To succeed at secession you need a strong people,economic and military might.

Perry and others might be better demanding the federal government return to its Constitutional limits.

Strong people: Texans. No more need be said.
Economic might: Texas is the 10th largest economy in the world. Think we have that dealt with.
Military might: We have our own army, navy and air force *separate* from the National Guard or Federal forces. Think we can consider that one dealt with.

We also have regiments of lawyers.

I don’t give a flying crap what was proposed pre civil war or any other nonsense, secessionists are traitors and as was done before the only logical step will be to arrest them, followed by all out military action if necesssary. It’s absolutely insane and I must attribute the discussion of it to a loss of education and lack of knowledge of history on all sides.
