Yeah, but he does mention that Texas joined the US as a sovereign nation as part of the justification of that.
Wasn't the US (and the whole concept of federalism) the idea that each state was a sovereign power? Strikes me as a return to the Old Ways and I'd be supportive of that
I'm rereading it now to find a mention of a specific mention of Texas' nationhood
When I first read it I thought the sovereign part was a reference to Texas being a country at one point, but it seems to apply to all states
@wolfman1911 @C1PHER Joining the US means each state gives up sovereignty, you can't have both.
States can't have sovereignty, only countries can.
Oh, my bad then, I kinda skimmed the article.
You understand some of it right, Texas may have wanted to keep its (i've not looked into it a lot), but that doesn't mean it still has it.
states have as much sovereignty as isn't explicitly given to the federal government via the constitution
that might have been a word salad just now, but oh well
Which at this point is basically none.
States control what happens inside them, but if the nation has rules that overrule anything. They have to follow them (unless they conflict with the constitution or some other exemptions).

*"Wasn't the US (and the whole concept of federalism) the idea that each state was a sovereign power?"*
**NO DAMN IT!** The intention was the feds we're one power, the states were another power separate and equal.
MC, I don't think what I said contradicts that
point being, the federal government wasn't meant to rule over all the states like it tends to do now
It's 6 years old, and I haven't had time to read the whole thing to see if it is relevant, but on the off chance anyone is interested I found this

Forget that..... I hate reading.
heh
fair, it is 20 some pages long]
I doubt I'll get through it, but I'll bookmark it
its not like I have anything better to do
The constitution of the country limits its power and can only be expanded by the process documented in the constitution. Same process by state
So for instance in AZ they we voted to make services not prone to sales tax. The state can only change that via citizenry vote. Their sovereignty cannot override that (unless the voters are cowards and don't push back on it when attempted. Similar to the federal government, it expands power all the time, but only because the senate doesn't push back. And the senate doesn't push back because senators no longer represent the states soverienty. 17th ammendment should be abolished

Or I guess the lack of praise for diversity is enough
IT's a lose lose. He is only pointing out the multi-culturalism they praise so much. If they attack they are sticking up for the word 'English'. It must be hard for them.
