make more money as more companies move to Texas to get away from the outlandish federal taxes on them.
also they would be able to do away with all the federal laws concerning everything under the sun if they wished to.

What about the parts of Texas that would rather stay in the U.S. Don't they have a right to self-determination too?

What about the towns in those "blue" counties that would rather join an independent Texas? Don't they have a right to self-determination too?

What about the blocks in the "red" towns in those "blue" counties that would rather stay in the U.S.?

Etc.

It's rather ironic for a self-proclaimed "sovereign citizen" -- from outside Texas, yet! -- to be declaring on behalf of every single Texan that they'd be better off ditching the U.S. The idea is nowhere near having universal popular support.

Awesome. Poor wittle "constitutional law professor" has his panties in a bunch. Amusing to see.

Texas will probably go independent a few months after North Carolina.

I'd put my money on the liberal side... they'll have the majority of the phd scientists/engineers (overwhelming liberal). When the zombie apocalypse comes, who will be more likely to discover a cure/immunization?

So what?

Bill goes nowhere.

Texas isn't going to secede from the United States.

You might want to actually deal with reality, rather than invest so much in your unreal bubble where you think you aren't an American citizen and where you think a few secession nuts represent an entire state.

Texas isn't going to secede from the United States. Period.

If all the federal workers in Texas get laid off, we'd better be able to create some jobs, fast.

More likely, hot air from a bloviating fool of a POTUS - Obama.

He's a fool, but somehow he's able to dictate to you and to suppress your freedoms? What does that make you?
