“No one stated that Texas could not secede, just that they could not do so constitutionally, as the constitution currently stands..”
It’s a question of interpretation.
If the Constitution is silent on the matter, then there is nothing constitutionally (the supreme law of the land) prohibiting it. It’s like the old saying about the law: “I didn’t break the law because the law does not prohibit it; thus, what I did was within the law that exists.”
Because there is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits them from doing so. I agreed with you, but I also stated that it may or may not come with consequences depending on what the U.S. Government thinks about that secession. I understood fully what your point was. What is not constituted to the U.S. government is up to the state. Do you think the U.S. Government will agree to it? They didn't the last time it was tried. Question is, is Texas in possession of any nuclear weapons? 🙂
“No one stated that Texas could not secede, just that they could not do so constitutionally, as the constitution currently stands..”
As things currently stand, we do NOT have a functioning Constitution and have not had one for some time.
Please show me where I might be mistaken on this.
