I wonder if that guy thinks that the Russians invading Ukraine are just "coming home" because it used to be the Soviet Union.

[scottpatrick]

If Texas had the balls to secede from the United States, then I'd move to Texas.

[nicholasjonas]

we secceded from mexico because santa anna was a dictator.
Bro really brought up his skin color and only his skin color

[briancaddel]

Funny, every texas republican business owner I know hires undocumented immigrants.

[trolloftheyear]

Time for Texas to declare itself a Nation.

[ttr]

When they do, all Federal monies should be withheld from the state.

[JP-zz]

If Quanell X wants us to take him seriously maybe he should learn to pronounce secede correctly

[shawnmorgan]

[yohanahramen]

Dude, this debate is horrible. The opposition to Texas independence has no real argument to challenge the other guy and just levies his skin color against him, which does nothing to help anyone better understand the issue of independence at all.

You can't support tiawan and Ukraine then sit their and say Texas has no right to leave the union. Think again. We can and we will.

[jamesbyrnes]

The Republic of Texas successfully seceded from Mexico in 1836

Many outlets raise that Texas v. White, the Supreme Court case which ruled that secession from the United States is illegal, would prevent the enactment of the Texas Independent Referendum Act, even if the people voted in favor of it.

The Texas Independence Referendum Act (HB 3596), shortened to TEXIT, is pending Texas state legislation which, if passed, would call for a state referendum on the secession of Texas from the United States.

2006, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia issued a threat of aggression and violence, "If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede."

The constitution doesn't mention or address secession.

Texas was formerly called the Republic of Texas, a sovereign state for nine years prior to the Texas annexation with the United States. Accordingly, its sovereignty was not recognized by Mexico although Texas defeated the Mexican forces in the Texas Revolution, and authorities in Texas did not actually control all of its claimed territory.

🇺🇦Ukraine is the size of Texas and left the Soviet Union a long time ago to be sovereign and independent from socialist regimes. Can you imagine people supporting Federal aggression
On Texans ? Invaders?

The word republic is first recorded in English 1595–1605. It comes from the Latin rēs pūblica, meaning “public thing, ” characterizing that a state is ultimately run by its people—as opposed to monarchy or tyranny.

What's the origin of the word Democrat?
A democrat was a word that originally referred to a republican in the French Revolution, or someone who opposed the aristocracy. The prefix demo- means "common people." Democracy is a political system promoting the rule of the common people over the rich or elites.

Globalism is the opposite of Patriotism

Forgive me as someone not from Texas or the USA but this format of debate doesn't seem conducive to any kind of productive discussion on any matter regardless of content

[brianhespen]

So if Texas succeeds from the United States does that mean the US should take it back by military force?
