Lol Texas was it's own country, joined the United states then Joined the Confederate states of America, texas wasn't trying to be it's own country again.
If my aunt had a ****, she’d be my uncle. Neither happened. Reality is still the same. States can not secede.
Texas did leave the union along with South Carolina South Carolina Leaves Union, Tensions Increase South Carolina withdrew from the United States on December 20, 1860.

They wanted to stop slavery from spreading into the western territories Snip The governor of South Carolina planned to stop any movement of federal troops. He ordered state soldiers to stop every boat in Charleston Harbor. They were to permit no United States troops to reach Fort Sumter. If any boat carrying troops refused to stop, the state soldiers were to sink it and seize the fort.
They didnt rule that and the Supreme court today could throw out Texas VS white and give texas back the money.
We all live in our "times". We are speaking here of "times" that existed in the Agricultural Age, which in 1864 was already yielding to the Industrial Age that would most certainly pursue. And today, we must yield again to the vagaries of the Information Age that we may think we know, but do not. An entirely new history is being rewritten and our children will live it. Life moves on, as it always has and always will - thus leaving the present behind ...
They did rule that, and no the court couldn't rule that. It's already settled case precedent. Only way to overturn it is via an amendment.
yes, I've proven you claim false. Texas v White. States can not secede. The ruling cites the specific language in the constitution precluding secession by the states.
