Of course states can’t secede. It’s a silly endeavor. But hey, got to keep the fundraising going!

cwill, chiming in with wisdom, per the norm.

But that is the analysis, nothing more is required.

analysis
Those who are against TEXIT—for reasons yet to be explained—don’t seem interested in any sort of discussion, much less an analysis.
All I see are one-liners, quips they’ve seen/read elsewhere, and/or insults.
I’m not characterizing you in that manner, just commenting, in general, on many of the TEXIT critics.

Texas doesn’t need the permission of the USA to leave the USA.

That's usually how unserious the ideas are greeted.

Unserious is the next leftist bullshite word?

Yeah. They don’t need a legal right to secede.

Given that over 40 percent voted for Biden you could not get a 4 Republican 1 Democrat split in five newly-created states. The best you could hope for is 3-2 which could easily go 2-3 down the road. Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston used to be solid red. Not anymore.

Since when do laws matter anymore?

People can be as snide as they want, but the movement is gaining traction.
While certainly not a reliable gauge of anything, I just opened Twitter (after reading your comment) and noticed quite a few #TEXIT tweets today alone.

“The answer is clear,” Scalia wrote. “If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede.”

When you have pro sports figures saying on tv they have no pride in our fkag or country, or usa teams kneeling before the flag and anthem or saying America was never great...
Then they have no say so in what Texas chooses to do.
I say let Oregon succeed and all the lefties can go there and live happy ever after.

Care to post more non serious blather?

Scalia is wrong.
