First of all 75% of your fellow Texans are against it.
Second there is NO provision for secession or breaking into 5 states.
So, a court will stop it and then the US military.
I spent a large amount of cash on a law firm researching this during the Clinton years. The answer was no way.
“Second there is NO provision for secession or breaking into 5 states.”
Yes there is. The Federal Government, by executive order, recently established a Governors council of 10 Governors, covering 5 state regions, that report directly to the Sec of Defense and FEMA.
The order is section 1822 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 (public law 110-181).
Now why would the federal government want to do something that potentially divides the states into “military jurisdictions”? Are they trying to upstage the potential that individual states may be contemplating similar pacts if nullification and/or secession is a direct response to a tyrannical federal government?
The US Constitution was the original contract for America. Without the provisions of the 10th Amendment being included, which allowed the states the RIGHT to opt out if the federal government overstepped it’s authority, HOW MANY STATES would have ratified the Constitution?
Had the Constitution not been specific in it’s LEGAL language, there could not have been a legally binding contract with the states.
However the Constitution is specific in language that provides the states the right to opt out, using whatever means necessary, which could include insurrection if necessary.
Of course the government will pass laws to protect itsself by making insurrection illegal. But if the government operates illegally, the Constitution provides specific legal remedy to nullify illegal, unconstitutional US Government activity.
