Many of the comments to this article said that the supporters would be tried for treason. I say no. After the Civil War, not even Jefferson Davis was tried for treason. The North was afraid that they would lose in court what they had won on the battlefield.

“Allowed”? It is their choice, not ours. The question whomever posted the original question is actually asking is: “Should we force Texas to stay in the union?”

In my opinion the first step is to let the people of Texas decided if they want to persue a separation. That step should be a process to involve the statewide vote by the citizens. If passed then persue the process via the state legislature/gov’t.

Should others have a say in what Texas does?
