All this talk about seceding is simply silly. There are people who currently live in Texas that are not native to the state and would be highly disappointed and discontent with this nonsense. For those crying for separation, it's important to realize that our country is way too intertwined, with a sizable percentage of transients in just about every state.
because there is no possible way under the US Constitution. Once you become a State , you remain a State.
From the Constitution of The State Of Montana:
The
CONSTITUTION
of the
STATE OF MONTANA
PREAMBLE
We the people of Montana grateful to God for the quiet beauty of our state, the grandeur of
our mountains, the vastness of our rolling plains, and desiring to improve the quality of
life, equality of opportunity and to secure the blessings of liberty for this and future
generations do ordain and establish this constitution.
ARTICLE
I
COMPACT WITH THE UNITED STATES
All provisions of the enabling act of Congress (approved February
22,1889,25
Stat.
676),
as
amended and of Ordinance No. 1, appended to the Constitution of the state of Montana and
approved February
22,1889,
including the agreement and declaration that all lands owned or held
by any Indian or Indian tribes shall remain under the absolute jurisdiction and control of the
congress of the United States, continue in full force and effect until revoked by the consent of the
United States and the people of Montana
So, you see, the provision for secession is written into the state Constitution.
How about it, Texans, what does YOUR Constitution say about the Compact With The United States?
It would greatly benefit them to do so. Why go down with a sinking ship?
Why would they secede? Not that they can anyway. Not everyone in Texas wants to secede, so are seriously suggesting that half the population of Texas has their opinion ignored because a group of 20,000 idiots want to secede from the Union?

20,000 intelligent individuals. What you don't understand, but WILL understand is that the economic hell that you will experience in the near future will last your entire lifetime.
I have no problem with that, as long as Texas pays off its share of the US national debt -- which was run up with the collusion of plenty of politicians from Texas.
Let's see, 8.4% of $17 trillion is $1.4 trillion, or approximately $55,000 per Texan.
