There is no Constitution clause saying that the Union must be preserved no matter the cost...

More Constitution fail.

I take it that means you are on THEIR side. Good to know.

You’re correct, there isn’t.

However, the question of the secession of Texas was put to the Supreme Court in 1869, and the Court already ruled.

The Court is not last because they’re right, they’re right because they’re last.

“It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is.” —Marbury v. Madison (1803).

Again, how many B1 bombers does Texas have? I understand your emotion, but secession is a fool’s errand.
