“Austin is the San Francisco of the south, led by a scum bag democrat Senator Lloyd Dogshit. We can’t secede? We can’t secede?”
No, we cannot secede. The Supreme Court ruled on it and said it was unconstitutional.
Someone on this site stated the above...I still laugh at that to this day.

Interesting. So a SCOTUS ruling is going to matter when the people of this state decide to leave the union? You really think we care?
Saying we can’t secede because of a SCOTUS ruling is like saying we can’t nullify overreaching federal laws.

No, we cannot secede. The Supreme Court ruled on it and said it was unconstitutional. And if we did indeed secede the Supreme Court wouldn't mean jack sh!t now would it.

Yeah, I know - what is even funnier is that the SC made that ruling AFTER the Civil War, as if the confederacy was expected to abide by a ruling that didn't even exist at the time.

Walter E. Williams says right now it is a draw whether states can secede.
The colonies seceded from the crown, showing that secession is possible.
In the 19th century, we were told that “no” states cannot secede.
He's still curious to see what a "2 out of 3" cases would bring.

Piss on the Supreme Court! They are the problem, not the solution.

Do you have a case number for this finding?
