A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

    Yeah that’s the checks and balances. SCOTUS literally has no power without Congress or the President.

      Yeah, but it wouldn’t be “legal” unless scotus agreed it was, even if it happened anyway.

        No. SCOTUS does not have to agree to everything. In fact there’s no Constitutional power for them to take a law up for review without a case. They gave themselves that power.
