The Push for Texas to Secede From The Union...

Ok, I just have to say this... all this talk I'm hearing, about Texas seceding, is RIDICULOUS!!! Is this REALLY what people want to spend your time and energy on?
Shall I remind you...

Texas v. White (1869)

"When, therefore, Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States."

It was illegal for Texas to secede the first time, and it is still illegal now. This is silly and it will never happen. It isn't even in Texas' best interest that it happen! As a native Texan, I am embarrassed by this drama. Now, can we move forward please?
