States are petitioning to leave the union. About 4 already met their goal.

What the forget? Is this a case of ?

Yes.

/b/ has been building up votes and making petitions for this for weeks.

I think the US military would have something to say about a state leaving the union.

Probably not. If the states are peacefully withdrawing it's fine, and the Texas constitution allows it to secede at any time.

It's illegal to secede from the Union. You're going to start a war no matter what if you try to, and the Texas constitution means stuff against the United States' law.

I never said that the US wouldn't mind it.

I just said that the state constitution allowed it. You don't have to be passive-aggressive.

[TheChaosCarrier]

Well State National Guard's are equiped the same as the army, they just have Humvees and trucks. Good luck when the marines go in.

Except the marines borrow everything from the navy...

A state's constitution cannot "allow" it to secede whenever it wants because it's illegal.

[Fredulus]

it's a myth that the texas constitution says that.

No it isn't.
Read the US Constitution pls.

[HellHound]

Laws = in the us constitution

[TheChaosCarrier]

The Constitution does not have the laws of the country in it, it contains the rights of every individual citizen of the united states.

Revolution and reform is and has been a right of the people since it was written in the 1700's.
And secession is a means of reform.

[Fredulus]

And secession is a means of reform.

wtf are you serious? not even close.

Yeah, and secession isn't, at all, revolution and reform.  It is separation, with the intent to create its own government.

[TheChaosCarrier]

wtf are you serious? not even close.

Very close, actually.

You don't like your government? Can't revolt? Then secede and reform. As long as there is no provocation of war against the original country, secession is legal.

It's always been legal.
It always will be legal.

Get over it.

[Tomcat]

all people from Ohio are traitors, we should hang them and quarter them.
also all people from Florida and Puerto Rico.
becuase everyone who disagrees or simply does not live near us is a traitor.
