“The only question then is how much violation and abuse of the consent of the governed will be tolerated.”

I am afraid that we are all too soon going to find out exactly how much abuse will be tolerated.

I don’t think kicking Texas into a revolt (of any sort) is a particularly good idea; sort of like kicking a bear awake in February, it can be done, but why on God’s green earth would you want to?

This is the sort of thing that could lead to a revolt of the center, after the dominoes are done falling the Commies in DC would find themselves in charge of San Fran, LA, Chicago and the Boston-DC axis but little else. Are they really that foolish/clueless/feckless/arrogant?

Frankly, I would rather live in boring times.
