***Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union***

Virginia and several other states upon ratification of the Constitution reserved the right to secede. Besides, secession isn’t denied to the states and is therefore reserved to the states by the 10th Amendment, regardless of whether they have explicitly reserved the right themselves.

So, PLD, since you mentioned Texas (and it was a sovereign nation at one time, too...) — do you support the secession from the United States of the Lakotah, as they have been trying to accomplish for a while now?

The Lakotah have that right to do so, written in their treaty, but the U.S. is refusing to honor that treaty (which is the same thing I suspect will happen to Texas, too).

So, I would say that the Lakotah would be a “textbook example” of what will happen with Texas, if they try it. Look at the Lakotah and you’ll have your example of what will happen with Texas.

Absolutely, 100% correct. Whether they will be permitted to exercise that right or forced against their will to submit to superior military force is another question, but the individual states retain the absolute right to secede.
