Well lookie here.... There's a new poll out showing 66% of Texas voters support leaving the union. Support is broader and deeper than many folks think. Both parties, conservatives and moderates, rural and urban. https://texianpartisan.com/survey-voter-support-for-texit/I know some of you folks think we're "fringe". The numbers suggest otherwise.

Rio Grande, Red, and Sabine lol For real though, 2/3 of the immigration problem is that US v. Arizona has reserved all immigration enforcement to the Federal government, and they suck at their day job. A free Texas could solve the problem in 6 months or less.

Study some more, Ntxtrapper. There are reasonable, legal, peaceful means of this happening.

I would like to see another "Republic of Texas" in my lifetime & live up to our motto " Texas whole other country". But it cannot be violent succession. we would not win that war!! All they would have to do is take down Texas very Shakey/broke [censored] power grid during July/Aug time frame & people would be Crying. They don't even have to put Boots on the ground - It could be done easy.

Wasting energy even thinking about this. We need to fix what's broken... and no, I don't have the answer.

The words you quoted as written by James Madison are certainly central to the United States of America. There’s no disputing that fact.
However, the OP specifically excluded sedition, an illegal means for succession.
