There is a myth that the Texas Constitution allows for secession. It cannot possibly do so since it cannot overrule the Federal Constitution and law. SCOTUS ruled way back, just after the last attempt that joining the union is permanent. We cannot legally secede.

The good news is that some liberals have been threatening to kick the red states out of the union. There have been a couple posts like that on TX.Guns. I keep asking if it is a promise and promising to vote for Obama if they will kick the red states out. Unfortunately, it is only the loons with no concept of reality that make those kind of statements.

So, I think we are going to be in the union for a good long time still. Lets do our best to make it work. The best news I can see is that it is still a close race in most battleground states. Also, more of Obama's supporters are younger, and we know they show up at the polls less than the middle aged and older voters. I think if Obama does win (and it is likely though not sure), and gets a full Democratic congress (both houses in control), he will lose it in two years.

The one thing I am sure of is that the country will survive either way. We can move further to the left with both the Congress and the White House being Democratic, but we will survive. It may mean we have to work harder at the state level, but the state and local levels affect us more on a daily basis anyway. We will survive.
