Texas vs White was after 1861-1865.....the winner declared right through might. I dont consider the question settled for all time. The Constitution itself does not prohibit secession, only the interpretations of the victors prohibits secession.

It is absurd to say that secession is “illegal”. When you have a president who uses the Constitution for toilet paper, there is a right and duty to protect the people of one’s state from tyranny. If you want to sit back in Kalifornia or Taxachusetts and bemoan your fate all the while doing nothing, then be my guest. Texas is going to show you that Obama’s tyranny will not stand.

No, the loser was declared through might. The winner was declared by law.

The State of Texas itself said that its secession was a legal nullity. In other words, the State of Texas says it never seceded. Texas was not among the winners of the Civil War.

I'm not sure this means much to today's neo-Confederates, though.
