So ANTI-secession (Texas) is *settled law*?! - wait a minnit! - where have we heard "settled law"
before?! --- oh, yes, it's coming to me, don't RUSH me: Here it is,
In all the sworn testimony of those wingnut nominees to the SCofUS, where they swore up and down that this-or-that was settled law. Also that they profoundly respected that other thing, "stare decisis" or somesuch.
So when the Texas wingnuts declared their wish to secede (again), all the so-called and self-called "legal experts" immediately went into their tut-tut, tsk-tsk, pooh-pooh mode, to the effect of their god SCALIA's saying, "It was settled in 1865."
*** Don't be too sure, especially where Texas wingnuts are involved, since *their* precedent goes along these lines: Crossing a "porous border" into a country of a different religion and a different policy against slavery, and these Whites spoke in tongues to their Brown hosts, swearing to at least put up with Catholicism and not own other people. When really, their concept of giving their word meant "biding time" to figure out the weak points and how soft the target was until they gathered the contents of their britches to take what they really wanted, Word or no word. And when they grabbed their Promised Land, they made up their own constitution making slavery legal.
And White wingnuts have found Teh "Brown ones" (said Poppy BUSH of his grandchildren) to be a soft target indeed, the BUSH Family Evil Empire being the shining example itself of a hot knife through butter. Poppy and Shrub had the touch with Teh Browns, about how needy they were for just a smile and a hug and just one little mangled WORD of "Spanish lingo" (LIMBAUGH), and used the touch as one brick in career building (and more feeding at the public trough). JEB's problem was not smiling enough to cover horrible policies, and son Pee Shrub just had NO charm at all, just sour besides being half-Brown. JEB was supposedly "smart" but didn't think outside the box like Poppy and Shrub.
*** So the Brits thought Brexit wouldn't happen; the "Royals" thought Mexit wouldn't happen; and most of the country thought Drumpf wouldn't happen.
Not saying the Texas wingnuts will secede, who knows how soon, but never underestimate the impossible. The whole planet might be blown up any given day, too, so there's that.
