They could have done that after annexation but prior to becoming a state. Once admitted they are governed by the same clause of the Constitution as every other state which requires Congressional approval to split up.
Ok you are projecting. That situation is permanent? Hell no. Your static thinking is stupid, stultifying. Nuclear power technology is world wide and well know. Texas has nuke plants now. If they had to, which they wouldn't, the French could design the the thing. What ever it takes.
You know, it’s almost worth watching Texas secede just to watch all these crazy predictions come to naught.
Unshackled from DC Texas would bloom like a rose. It would be amazing to watch for sure.
LOL!
You think that is funny you f'd up pr1ck?
I think it's hilarious.
I’ll join that war. Enough is enough.
Although Texas *IS* different, as they have the approval already. It was in the document when Texas an the United States unified the two separate distinct countries.
Yes, the contract that holds us together as a nation has been broken, and it wasn’t us who broke it.
Now that’s funny. I’ll bet you really think you put me down
there.
No, you merely destroyed yourself.
I don’t believe I addressed Texas having to fight the blue
states to break away, so I’m not sure what relevance this
has in regard to my comments.
The Left has joined China essentially.
Every decision that is made is made with thought of how it
will please or disturb China.
Look at them flock to climate change summits, where the U. S.
is torched, and China is ignored.
The Left could care less.
I have a very hard time seeing the blue state nation coming
to the defense of the red state nation should China chose
to take military action against it.
Any state in the Union could split into five separate states...so long a the legislature and Congress approve it.
Hi Central VA, glad to see that you’re pouring on the charm.
Note that when I use the term “silly” when referring to secession, I’m simply being polite because using the term “idiotic” tends to shut down reasoned debate. Perhaps I need to rethink that? Maybe I should just go ahead and call secession what it is; idiotic and seditious.
“You know, it’s almost worth watching Texas secede just to watch all these crazy predictions come to naught.”
Ain’t gonna happen. But it is amusing to see keyboard revolutionaries get themselves all excited. I guess they’re just going to ignore the practical issues like dealing with parts of the state that want nothing to do with their neo-secessionist utopia.
What is idiotic is thinking that we are not now delving into tyranny as 50 state union.
“What is idiotic is thinking that we are not now delving into tyranny as 50 state union.”
No arguments there. The question is what do do. POLITICAL secession is a fool’s errand. Cultural divorce on the other hand is attainable and if you think about it, a necessary precursor to meaningful political change.
So say you, a craven idiot.
