They lost a fucking SCOTUS case in 1869 that said states do not have the Constitutionality to leave the Union. And the best part is, that case was called Texas vs. White. Texas has lost this fight twice.
When, therefore, Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.
The irony of the fact that conservatives want no-fault divorces for women.
Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous.
I learned from Texas public school teachers in the 1990s that Texas is the only state that has the right to secede because of its state constitution, and I’m sure they’re still teaching that bullshit today. Yet they somehow ran out of time to mention TX v. White, but is anyone surprised?
Honestly, they probably didn't know. I don't think anyone is taught about it because we all just kind of assume that traitors losing the war would put the matter to rest. Turns out, they think it means they should try again.
That female pronoun for a state is awkward as fuck. Hope that isn't Wikipedia.
They didn't just lose the war.
