A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

    I expect at the very least you’d also need scotus to agree, though if legislative and executive are both willing to ignore them then …profit?

      Yeah that’s the checks and balances. SCOTUS literally has no power without Congress or the President.

        Yeah, but it wouldn’t be “legal” unless scotus agreed it was, even if it happened anyway.
