    Not going to get you anywhere. Even if you "prove" that claim is valid, the federal government obviously won't recognize it. Short of Constitutional amendment, there is absolutely no conceivable legal situation in which the federal government could be forced to say "Yes Texas, you have a valid claim to sovereignty and we will honor it, go do what you want without federal interference". Sorry, but the idea of Texan sovereignty is just a pipe dream for Texans. You have two options for establishing the sovereignty of Texas (or any other state). They are:

    1. Get the Constitution amended (good luck)

    2. Fight, and win, another civil war against the federal government (good luck)

Their opinion is the only one that really matters. If they don't recognize that claim, it's meaningless. And obviously they won't recognize it. Texas has exactly the same chance of getting around the Supremacy Clause as any other state: No chance.
    Except we could go toe to toe with 49 states and come out on top.

    I mean, come on.


    DISCLAIMER: before someone quotes a whole butt-load of statistics and military stuff at me, realize that I was joking.

    please.
