Serious discussion of Texas seceding is a joke. Remember, Texas was part of the confederacy and got steamrolled. If Rick Perry is dumb enough to mention secession in a serious way FBI will haul him off to jail blagojevich style. Treason is not something anyone wants to be charged with.
Interesting question. I've been wondering when someone would take us to court for all the destruction and mayhem we caused in Iraq.
Some of you have short memories, but I guess that's to be expected. In 2004, there were any number of liberals calling for the blue states to secede and form a new country with Canada, of all things. http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2004/11/16/states/index.html
Who inherits the bigger debt that Obama has created in his first 50 days? The costs for the war in Iraq pale in comparison.
