I would agree with that.
Do they nullify Federal Law?
Nullifying the law is not an option. States have tried it in the past and the courts had struck it down every time.
Secede?
It it's that important to you then it would be a valid option.
Seriously this getting permission can be problem some.
Why? The only way I can see it being a problem is if you cannot show that secession is the wish of the majority of your population. If Texas legislature announced tomorrow that it wanted to secede then the federal government could and should tell it to go take a flying leap because all evidence shows that secession is opposed by 3/4ths of the Texas population. If, on the other hand, it was clear that secession was the desire of 3/4ths the population then I am adamant in my belief that Congress has no other choice but to begin negotiations with Texas on the separation. To do otherwise would be the height of stupidity. Now you can 'what if' until the cows come home and make all the claims you want on how Obama would never allow it, but we'll never know until the facts are there in front of him for the world to see. And I believe that he will have no other choice than to support Congress in waiving Texas bye-bye.
Leaving is always an option! If your a private contractor to a “contract” if the terms are broken..You stop work until resolution is reached or settle the legal entanglements peacefully at best/In the Street at worst
“And I believe that he will have no other choice than to support Congress in waiving Texas bye-bye.”
I hope your right about this! Texas is a damn proud State and that whisper will soon turn to screaming..Obama is walking on thin ice
