A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

    1. Dems suggest texas can texit if the GOP drafts it.

    2. GoP doesn’t want to blink, crafts it in a way that gives Texas power when it leaves, to please the howling magats

    3. Dems say "cool. These 31 states on both coasts are seceding. Using the process laid out, each coastal block will reorganize into its own group.

    Now the red states are booted. Miller time.

      There is no “gives Texas power” about that. If Texas were to leave, the big bargaining issues would be on water rights and what to do about social security.

        There’s no legal way for Texas to leave the union. If Texas did, it’d be treason. No bargaining, only civil war.

          It’s Insurrection not treason. Treason is very narrowly defined as giving Aid & Comfort to a foreign power. People misuse treason way too often.

          I was only speaking to if the method of leaving the union was to be approved.
