I don’t know if it’s legally possible, but even if it was, it would never actually work. Texas is propped up with federal funding, our electric grid is slowly failing, and most people who wanted to stay a citizen of the United States would leave if they were able, which would completely fuck the job market, and leave mostly people who want to be Texans rather than Americans, and those people can’t run shit (hence the economicand infrastructure problems we already have).
Or maybe I’m just talking out of my ass, idk. That’s my opinion as somebody who lives in Texas against their will.
Nope, it’s not possible. The only way it wouldn’t be treason is if all states agree, or if they start a revolution and are successful; every other attempt would simply be treason. Hence, one nation indivisible. I’m sure they know that; they just want to push as far as they can to make the political situation even more absurd in America. They want to widen the gap between the people. I don’t know who exactly profits from this situation, but it’s not the American people.
The EU had a documented process for a member state to leave. It was untested and messy, but it existed.
There’s no legal basis for a state to leave the US. Now it’s possible we let it happen despite this, with or without armed conflict, but it’s hard to imagine a hypothetical Texit not being messier than Brexit ever was
What if Texas just does a Texit (akin to Brexit)? Or is that not possible?
The GOP would never be able to win the electoral college without Texas. So that’s why it will never happen.
But maybe we can trick Abbot, he might be stupid enough to fall for it?

Here’s a video that explains it quite well: [Legal Egal] (https://youtu.be/1dhvry6E0jA?si=H62qIoiHzaLdJHQF)
Isn’t treason legal in the US nowadays?
Only if you pretend that you’re wealthy by committing massive fraud.

The south tried to secede and we fought a war about it, so no, pretty sure it’s not possible.
Not sure if US law has a provision for this. Brexit was relatively orderly because the EU made sure there’s a process for it.
Absolutely positive the US does NOT have a provision for this. We fought a little war about it once.
I think the only two ways this can happen are is the federal government agrees to the succession or succession by force (aka civil war).
This is correct. Unless of course the Supreme Court overturns the decisions by previous Supreme Courts.
Has anyone checked on Harlan Crow’s opinion on this?
It’ll never happen
That wasn’t my question. It was whether it is theoretically possible or not. Brexit was a peaceful event with all its checks and processes in place.

last time they tried there was a civil war, that pretty much sums up how legal it is.
