In 1861, Texans voted to secede and join the Confederacy during the Civil War. When the war was over, the Supreme Court decided — in a case that involved none other than Texas, albeit on the non-secession side — that states can’t secede unilaterally and any attempt to do so will be “absolutely null.” [More]So "irreconcilable differences" and even outright abuse don't matter? If you try to leave us we'll stalk you, and capture, you, and punish you and bring you back because we belong together for ever and always...?
How creepy and intolerable is that?

Sounds a lot like Sharia law, huh?

If a Con-Con is called, the Constitution can be dissolved and each of the States would retain their independent character.
The above aside, do you think the framers of the Constitution had in mind a captive contract from which there was no way for a State to extract itself?
This will never be allowed because the first thing that happens when Texas becomes a country is every single Fortune 500 Corporation moves their Headquarters there, robbing the US of it's wealth.
It’s no coincidence that “Dallas” is just “Stella!” spelled sideways.
