A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

    I find it implausible there would be no challenge, so scotus would have to agree either passively by refusing to take the case or actively by taking it in order for its legality to be settled.

      And I find it implausible that anybody listens to SCOTUS if we’ve gotten to the point that at least half of Congress is kicking a state out. It’s certainly not a normal political environment at that point.
