“I repeat: Under current federal law no State may legally secede.”

The inalienable rights granted by our Creator, supersede the laws of men. Those rights form the very basis of our political union to begin with.

If all States are free to LEGALLY secede then what is the point of the USA? What would be the mechanism?

No, any State, Texas included but not special, would have to forcefully secede.

The most Republican and most Democratic states still have about 30% of people who vote for the other side. In most states, it's a lot closer. Obviously, there is no "natural, inalienable right" of 50%+1 of the people in a state to change the condition of the other 50%-1 and deprive them of our shared US citizenship.

So, you are an anarchist. The only law you recognize are the “rights granted by our creator,” as interpreted by — you.

The USC and other legal documents are mere suggestions and annoyances which you must follow to avoid punishment.

Got it.
