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? 🙂
That was then. The global situation is different now. I think it benefits the globalists to break up the USA.
As long as globalist-minded people are running each state, e.g., California and New York are already well aligned, removing a few sinecures from pointless federal bureaucracies is easily sold to the public.
I don;t see the same sort of sentiment as was in 1860's with slavery. I doubt there would be violence trying to hang on to any state or region.
I was with you until your last sentence, which is when you went off the rails. Talk about a non-sequitur! You go from discussing the Constitution and the consequences of secession — all valid points; but then, peculiarly, you veer off into the realm of irrelevance, and ask if Texas has nuclear weapons. As I said, a non-sequitur.
Maybe you were suggesting a nuclear war over a state seceding? I doubt even Russia would do that.
It doesn’t make any difference, it would never happen with the communist strongholds in Houston, Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth fighting it.
