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?

    Seems like it’d be easier, more honest and less “Jump through hoopy” to just say they left and we reconquered them. Unless you really don’t want think states leaving is legal when it probably is.

      You’re mistaking the fact that I recognize a limitation of myself with something else.

        If what I said wasn’t fairly accurate, there’d be no need for legal arguments so arcane you don’t feel capable of describing them accurately.

          One thing I am pretty good at is recognizing blatantly bad logically fallacious arguments on the internet, such as the classic “false dichotomy.”

            No, you clearly aren’t, especially if you think this is a false dichotomy. I’m sorry, you were right about your limitations.
