Texas looks to follow UK's example

Honestly, I couldn't care less if Texas gets its independence. I was merely commenting on the issue because Americans have been flocking to the Brexit threads and bitching.


I'd like to know as well. You say I don't know a lot about your history and you may be right, so why don't you enlighten me, Thump? Do tell.

Texas tried to secede before the American Civil War, and at that time it was ruled by the SCOTUS that the Union is insoluble by state actions, and I think the case was Texas v White. Essentially, the court ruled it Unconstitutional to secede, so the document in question is the Constitution, technically.

Interesting. Thanks for the answer.
