Looking back, I think that Texans were so caught off guard by the Waco thing, they didn't know how to react. When they did get to their feet, it was too little, too late.
I think Ann Richards was also Governor at the time, which means there would have been full cooperation from her administration with the feds.
That incident hardened Texans to the modern federal government. I highly doubt they could pull something like that off here again.
I sincerely hope you are right, FRiend.
