Good, We Have Them Scared

4/19/16 Washington Post:

When Texas Republicans assemble for their state convention next month, it's possible they will debate whether Texas should secede from the United States.

There's almost no chance Texas Republicans will actually vote in favor of seceding, mind you -- not least because most of the party wants nothing to do with this -- but the fact we're even mentioning secession and the Texas GOP convention in the same sentence suggests that the once-fringe movement has become a priority for at least some conservative grass-roots Texans.

Remember, the real issue is the unwillingness of the left to allow states to make their own decisions and a rather callous attitude about enforcing federal immigration law.
