      Ain’t that the whole point of common law? There’s no legal framework -> go to court -> set the precedent -> there’s your framework

      Separatists have to support each others, my nation’s separatist movement is older than anyone alive today. If some US states feel like they would be better off outside the union then good on them, the super nation experiment has run its course, it’s the same as empires of ages past and I don’t see anyone here defending the British Empire and being against Canada’s Confederation or saying that Haiti should still be a French colony… Weird how hard it is to apply equal standards to everyone 🤷

          In Texas v. White’s ruling: There was no place for reconsideration, or revocation, except through revolution, or through consent of the States.

          Scalia’s opinion on the subject was shared as an answer to a letter so it has no legal precedence.

              Sorry if I gave an example of a state that already has agreed borders and that actually compares to rich nations like I was asked 🤷

                    You’re a dumbass. Neither of the people in this thread you’re replying to asked you and your reply to the person who did is stupid. Texas’ GDP is what it is because it’s part of the United States.

                    You’re so simple you think Texas could secede from the United States and the companies and industries that promote that GDP would stay there? If clueless was a person it’s be you.
