Well it’s already the beginnings of a Civil War with all the edicts of a tyrannical Federal Gov.
we can not live peacefully with these branch covidian leftists.
My thought exactly — an invitation to the Feds to initiate a civil war. Picture our incontinent president in a stovepipe hat.
Is there not a provision from the beginning of Texas’ statehood that they could leave the union at any point they wish?
28th Amendment: a process for removing States from the Union.
Shouldn’t be that hard to get 38 legislatures to pass it: go to the blue states and tell them they can remove TX; go to the red states and tell them they can remove CA.
Another hit piece by the Hill.
Cruz never specifically said this.
It won't be just Texas.
This is the best thing Ted has ever said. He’s come a long way from Horse 🐴 Face.
If it comes to that, Texas wouldn’t be alone.
God forbid that we can’t settle our differences peacefully.
The leftist social engineers have already divided the country - not on regional lines, but they have divided state against statel, county against county, urban vs. rural on ideological lines. This time their enemy would be spread out everywhere.
Moreover, America has a vast, bloated, lumbering bureaucracy weighed down by massive debt, based in urban areas. One kick and a massive currency and debt crisis ensues. Fed.gov will be able to support its own existence. Urban, blue areas would be the first to fail.
That is their wish list. If it comes to pass it's all over for The Republic.
If Texas goes, We in Alabama should go, too, along with several southeastern states. Commie Rats have gone crazy. They are about to pull us all over the cliff
It sounds more like he’s saying that he doesn’t want Texas to secede.
Would it be a secession if Texas was annexed? Would it be a de-annexation?
I suspect Cruz would insist that it be done by amending the constitution rather than war. I think if it were done that way then there would be no war.
I tend to think the same thing for Florida, where I’ll be moving at the end of the week.
IIRC, South Carolina has legislation pending regard seceding. Don’t know where it stands in the process, but if SC goes, so goes the south.
Charleston harbor 1861 redux?

Note to Cruz: And just how will your state make up what it gets from Fedzilla?
Sort out your budget issues first otherwise your yap is writing checks your butt can’t cash.
I am ready for secession right now. We certainly do not have to worry about the US military.
All the Left has wanted was to destroy the United States
impact on the rest of the world.
This would accomplish that and leave China in the cat-bird’s
seat for centuries to come. (granted, something unforeseen
could end that, but it’s the near term reality.)
If Texas and other states break away, is anyone suffering
from the delusion that the federal government would allow
them to have nuclear weapons, a portion of the current
military services, troops, equipment, aircraft, pilots,
carriers, submarines?
The blue states would retain 100% of those things.
The blue states would have their national guard units, but
that would be a far cry from the full resources our nation
has today.
The blue states would welcome China in it’s new role.
There would be no entity on the planet that could and
would oppose China.
India is up and coming, but I don’t see it has a valid
offset to what China is becoming.
This doesn’t just pertain to planet Earth either.
China will rule space.
The socialists would sign off on anything China wanted,
in the interest of peace.
The world as we know it would be dead.
The socialists would stand by and watch China march in on
the former blue states, in their new role.
Good luck with that.
