Texas is leading the pack.

Nothing will come of this first effort, of course. Various agreements and court decisions have made clear that no State can peaceably leave the Union.

Which means only one thing: War. Over the same issue as the first American Civil War: slavery.

    Someone should start a betting pool on Intrade!

    Ideas: Texas will officially petition to secede by midnight [some calendar date]

    Arizona / Montana / Vermont / whatever will be the second US State to petition for secession

    I'm guessing Arizona but not sure I'd put money on it...

    I know, I know. I'm just keepin' it simple.

    But the Second American Civil War IS about whether we shall be slaves, or free men.

    (That's not what the civil war was about, but I'll forgive you.)
