Yesterday, the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, was haranguing a crowd while pandering to the anti-federal-government emotions being whipped up by the likes of Glenn Beck and other Fox News gas bags, and implied that Texas could, if it wished, secede from the union because, he claimed, that was a proviso agreed to for its admittance to the union in 1845.

He failed to mention that Texas (along with Florida) also was permitted to join the union in 1845 as a slave state. So, should Texas secede, would there not be enough racists and white supremacists in the Texas legislature to consider re-instituting that "peculiar institution"?
