Petition for Secession

[Coug]

Texas would never be granted secession, and the US wouldn't allow such a loss to it's oil production. Austin would be taken down rather quickly and a new government would take it's place.

 

[VOLatile]

Texas v. White, BTW, states that no state may secede from the union.

 

[SandoVOL]

Texas and Alaska are already on the precipice, I hope Tennessee is close behind. We are about to be in even deeper ****

lol

 

[VOLatile]

Let Texas go. Only steers and queers come from Texas, amiriteguise?

 

[n_huffhines]

You're right,..Constitution says so. But hey,..it says lots of things that doesn't mean squat anymore.

Actually it doesn't. The constitution doesn't mention secession, and we all know by the 10th amendment rights not explicitly delegated in the constitution are to remain with the states. Ipso facto, the states are the ones who decide if they can secede or not.

 

[n_huffhines]

Why not? It worked out so well the first time.

Yeah, your new nation may be subject to failure if you are invaded by an army twice the size of your own.

 

[n_huffhines]

Legally no state can ever secede from the Union (Texas v. White).

Oh you mean federal judges found in favor of the federal government? What a weird result.

Bingo! Planting the seed in your head is where it all begins. I hope it grows to where this country can be taken back from the liberal herd that have taken her down the wrong path, and turn toward green pastures of what this country was founded on.

Yeah, that will work. Secede and have the US as your biggest enemy, Obama will turn the drones loose.

 

[GreveHaller]

Hawaii has been wanting out for years

 

[barknoxbrawler]

Most people are his drones. They follow his everyword. The american people who voteds for him, are his drones.

 

[dreVol]

Yeah, that will work. Secede and have the US as your biggest enemy, Obama will turn the drones loose.

you mean, Obama would treat Texas and its citizens the same way he does Pakistan and its citizens?

 

[lawgator1]

If Alaska or Texas wanted out, I say let 'em. Build a fence to keep them out of the USA. No money for schools. No military protection or treaties for joint defense. Tax the crap out of any imports or exports with them. Make any of their citizens who want to come into the US get passports and carefully monitor them to make sure they don't overstay their visas. Charge them for cable services, access to the internet, and of course we have shovel ready jobs building the fences and walls to keep them out of here.

Pretty much. They don't call him the drone king for nothing.

 

[utvolpj]

Yeah, that will work. Secede and have the US as your biggest enemy, Obama will turn the drones loose.

some might say the US govt is already the biggest enemy to the states

Sounds awesome. If you want to cut off your nose to spite your face, feel free.

Nobody would invade Texas, except for maybe the US.

 

[utvolpj]

well then color me uneducated and unsophisticated. No entity affects my life more than the ever-expanding US govt of which you're a fan.

I'm not a proponent of secession but I can get the idea

Some would most likely be right.:hi:

Right now I'd say its governor and that one Sheriff they got are doing a pretty good job of trashing the joint all on their lonesome.
