I REMEMBER WHEN DEMS TALKED SECESSION AFTER 2004: Will Texas Stick Around for a Hillary Clinton Presidency? Three out of five Trump voters in the Lone Star State would back secession if the Democrat wins, a new poll finds.

Nobody imagined that the EU would use military force to stop Brexit. Why should secession in America be different. Sure, there was that whole Civil War thing. But we live in a milder, more civilized age in which the self-determination of peoples is regarded as a right. And, anyway, we have to regard the Constitution as a living, evolving document, one that can change to suit the needs of the times. Right?
