(( There’s all these articles cherry picking stuff out of the TX GOP platform for 2022, of which a vote on seceding is one provision. Makes for great headlines, but it really is missing the forest for the trees. Texas GOP is going all in on, Viktor Orban-style, illiberal democracy.

Here’s a full rundown:

Joe Biden is not the legit president, students are required “to learn about the dignity of the preborn human,” including that life begins at fertilization; it talks about treating homosexuality as “an abnormal lifestyle choice”; locking the number of Supreme Court justices at 9; getting rid of the constitutional power to levy income taxes; abolishing the Federal Reserve; rejecting the Equal Rights Amendment; returning Christianity to schools and government; ending all gun safety measures; abolishing the Department of Education; arming teachers; requiring colleges to teach “free-market liberty principles”; defending capital punishment; dictating the ways in which the events at the Alamo are remembered; protecting Confederate monuments; ending gay marriage; withdrawing from the United Nations and the World Health Organization; and also…as this article focuses on…calling for a vote “for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.” ))

If I'm reading this right, Texas wants to secede? Well lemme tell you something buddy:

Texas v. White (1869)

Holding
1868 WL 11083
Texas (and the rest of the Confederacy) never left the Union during the Civil War, because a state cannot unilaterally secede from the United States. US Treasury bond sales by Confederate Texas during the war, originally owned by pre-war Texas, were invalid, and the bonds were therefore still owned by the post-war state.
