      I’m a loyal American too. Read my other comment in this thread explaining why “Ironically, secession is about the most American thing we could do at this point.”

        You’re not a loyal American went you advocate treason against our country. When you advocate treason that makes you an anti-American traitor.

          I certainly do not advocate treason. That’s a hell of an accusation.

          Putting secession on the ballot is part of the Republican Party of Texas’s official platform. It’s a popular idea whose time has come, due in large part to our federal government’s ignoring the Tenth Amendment.

            You ARE advocating treason. Why do you hate America?

            Putting secession on the ballot is part of the Republican Party of Texas’s official platform.

            Then why is it not on the ballot? Radical Republicans have controlled the corrupt state government for the last 30+ years. Also you are saying that the state Republican Party officially endorses anti-American treason? Even if a majority of Texans instead of a tiny minority of neofascists supported secession, it is unconstitutional according to settled law. It would be like putting the reinstitution of slavery on the ballot. That would never be allowed. Too bad for you that my country has the most powerful army in the world and us loyal Americans would swat you America hating traitors like a bug.

    Ironically, secession is about the most American thing we could do at this point. I enjoyed the following quote from this page on redstatesecession.org:

    To quote James Madison in Federalist 39, each State is “a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound [in the Union] by its own voluntary act.” To deny this principle is to deny the most foundational idea of American law—that governments derive “their just powers from the Consent of the Governed.” If the States cannot peacefully secede, then they are in a Union held together by coercion, not by consent. Clearly, this was not the Founders’ intention. Furthermore, because there is no prohibition of secession in the U.S. Constitution, it is a right that the States reserve in accordance with the Tenth Amendment.

        Settled law in what jurisdiction? United States law applies only to these United States.

          Exactly. Which Texas is a part of. We are loyal Americans here, not anti-American traitors. Texas is the very state that went out of its way to establish that states cannot secede. So good job Texans.
