Texas looks to follow UK's example

[Thumpalumpacus]

I don't know much on the American constitution, apart from the oftenly mentioned articles and ammendments, but it obviously doesn't offer the right for any state to leave the union. Which was most obvious in 1861, although it was the Confederates firing the first shots at Fort Sumter.

Even a redneck like me is sharp enough to understand Mao's dictum that all power emanates from the barrel of a gun.

Any question of secession was settled 150 years ago. The hopeful schadenfreude in this thread, I think, is that of Brexiters looking for validation.
