How bout we say reasonableish. The hope is for a Brexit style of secession but that could take a few years. The way it works is the measure requires the voters to decide, if they say yes, then the legislature writes up the articles of secession and sends it to the governor for signature. Then the actual hard part begins. I expect that the federal government would step in right around the time the governor is about to sign the bill into law. We can either expect lawfare with the feds suing or actual military force at that point. BTW everyone says this is a settled issue because of the War Between the States. However, if you look at all the actual paperwork at the time including legal cases, they always used the term "the states in rebellion & Texas", or "the CSA & Texas" etc. We were always added in on the tail end because technically, we negotiated into the Union as a country and the US accepted us knowing that the ability to leave the union was in the Republic's Constitution. Legally that issue has never been resolved for us specifically.
Interesting. Thanks for explaining. I really hope, if the evil satanists get in, this happens. Strongest way to send a message, but also why stay associated with a commie country that no longer has free speech, censors the internet, locks up political opponents and followers, locks up protesters, no longer has the right to vote/rigs election, no longer follows the constitution, is friends with CCP, pushes racist woke policy, destroys the economy with extreme regulation/tax/hyperinflation etc. ? Texas would be far better off without (as would all states)
