It seemed like a typical congressional meeting for the Republic of Texas. Senators and the president gathered in the center of a Bryan, Texas, meeting hall, surrounded by public onlookers, to debate issues of the national currency, develop international relations and celebrate the birthday of one of their oldest members.
But this wasn't 1836, and this would be no ordinary legislative conference. Minutes into the meeting a man among the onlookers stood and moved to open the hall door, letting in an armed and armored force of the Bryan Police Department, the Brazos County Sheriff's Office, the Kerr County Sheriff's Office, Agents of the Texas District Attorney, the Texas Rangers and the FBI.
In the end, at least 20 officers corralled, searched and fingerprinted all 60 meeting attendees, before seizing all cellphones and recording equipment in a Valentine's Day 2015 raid on the Texas separatist group....

Meanwhile the Sharia legal courts in Dallas may continue...
We don’t need to shake down mosques or al-shabaab networks... Nothing to see there. Hey look freedom lovers are over there get ‘em!
For get the ACLU wimps, get Ted Cruz.
He’s a brilliant lawyer.
Another Valentine’s Day massacre.
I guess Hawaii is a ‘good’ secessionist movement. While anything going against the Obama agenda is a ‘bad’ secessionist movement. Lockstep or else!
These aren’t the Texas Rangers I knew, back in the day. Maybe the Texas Butt-Rangers .....
Sounds like Austin has taken over.
Well they can fight back with guns or lawyers.
I’m sure they have plenty of both!
Is there any provision in law or the Constitution for states to secede from the union? We know there are provisions for admitting new states to the union. But what about states wanting to leave? History tells us we fought a civil war to keep the union together.
If the states really have sovereign status, shouldn’t they legally be allowed to develop plans to secede? I don’t know the law and am curious as to whether someone is committing a federal offense to work towards a state leaving the union.
A. It fits the Obama DHS meme.
B. The DHS Domestic Terror Success Rate Power Point Slide just took a sharp uptick for the next round of Mo' Money congressional hearings.

He’s also a member of the Texas Bar and is not going near these nuts and phony, make-pretend court.
And Ted Cruz sure as heck doesn’t want secession, he needs the votes for 2016!
It may be time to arm yourself in those meetings. Now I have always bben about following law and order when the authority it flows from is righteous, lawful, and constitutional, however I feel the wind changing and there is the feeling in the air that than an evil and unlawful authority is taking over many of our courts and police agencies and bending them to do their will. As many of those LEOs and federal officers are militarily trained to carry out their orders without question I hope that the light bulb goes off in their head that makes them wonder if what they are being requested to do is “right” or not. We cannot allow ourselves to become a nation of lawless thugs carrying out orders for the king. Speaking from the perspective of being former LEO.
If the meeting was a peaceful gathering and was a discussion only they need to gile a lawsuit ASAP and show that there will be consequences for unlawful invasions of constitutional rights.
What are the Feds going to do when this trickle of secessionists turns into a flood?
Muzzies are a protected religious class.
and the signers had a death warrant placed on their heads by the prevailing authority.
I don’t know about the US, but the EUSSR has provisions to keep member states from leaving once they join.
Kind of like Islam.
