they drew them from the law of nature.
its natural to speak - pray - protest - associate - self-defense, be secure in ones self, among many others.
constitutional law does not apply to Citizens....only federal law does....please show in constitutional law, where it can be used on a Citizen.
more made up stuff
we institute government for the sole purpose to secure those natural rights.....
The law of NATURE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the hell is that? Where does one find verifiable that such a thing exists outside of your own mental construct believing what you believe because you want to believe it?
The things you describe are ABILITIES one has because of simple biology of the species. They are NOT rights.
That is a blatant falsehood. The men who wrote the constitution told us very very clearly in plain English why they created our government in the Constitution.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Nothing in there about any nonsense about natural rights but a lot of other things are there as reasons for creation of our government.
You really have shown that your beliefs about the USA and its government is not based on reality.
sorry they are, its natural to the body to speak, pray, self defense...
establish justice..ie ....the courts, to make decisions in cases of injustice.
insure domestic Tranquility...to keep the internal union safe, and not in turmoil.
provide for the common defense....to create a military which can protect our life liberty and property from those enemies who seek seek to destroy them
promote the general Welfare ...to perform the duties of government which encompass the powers which shall preserve rights of the people and the union .
secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,<--- this is self explanatory
I say let Texas secede and then we impose very heavy sanctions until they beg US to come back in.
While unlikely anytime too soon, it's not unthinkable that one day, Texas might vote to secede from the United States and re-establish itself as an independent nation.
If done in a peaceful and democratic manner...that is, if the people of Texas overwhelmingly voted to withdraw from the U.S. In a referendum similar to the one recently held in Scotland, would you support the right of Texas to go her own way?
really?....
Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.
This is so damn typical of the way you argue. I quote the official freakin' US CONSTITUTION which tells us why the wrote it and created the government they did create. What do you do in response - give us something that is just opinion and has no relevance in law at all.
So damn typical and it summarizes your style perfectly.

Absolutely!
The loss of Texas would be well worth it in order to get rid of the Republican power base.
Getting rid of Texas would be as helpful for America as curing cancer (politically speaking).
Without Republicans, the amount of good we could do is endless.
Obviously you think that all of the social demands for funding (education, military, healthcare, etc), which are placed on the Texas government - does so mostly on its own revenues. I suggest you might spend some time finding out how much money flows into Texas via both the Federal General Funds and Discretionary Funds, which allows Texas to operate. The sovereignty of individual states exist because of the symbiotic relationships between all states and a central government.
Well, ultimately that is the very thing that would happen. All goods and services Texas would need - which comes from outside the state - would be shutdown by the Feds or even other states.
The same thing happened during the civil war. Most of the manufacturing of goods, especially goods made of steel and/or iron were milled in the north. Even cotton gin machinery was manufactured in the north. Actually machinery of all kinds were manufactured in the north. The majority of textile mills were in the north. The list goes on and on....
And it was difficult to get England to manufacture such goods for the south. England inventors created the primary means for the industrial revolution to happen in the US.
And now, since the majority of oil imports come from Canada...well, can you see a problem here for Texas? It cost a lot of money to drill. And where does the equipment come from that make drilling possible?
I could not agree more. I would even contribute money for Texas secession from the rest of America! Especially with the clown, Ted Cruz, leading the way. I'm salivating at the thought! Nice post, Painter. You and I are soul mates.
One in four Americans want their state to secede from the U.S., but why?
If youre just going to insult me though, we're done.
The judicial branch - the US Supreme Court - has the power to interpret the Constitution and tell us what it means stepping in disputes about the document and its meaning. Can you point to the Supreme Court decision which states that the Constitution does not apply to citizen?
yes, because it would rebalance politics in the rest of the US to be much more like I think they should be and what I believe would bring the most good to the most people in terms of prosperity and happiness.
so you decided to concoct a wholly different hypothetical scenario instead of sticking with the OP's hypothetical.
seems to be a common theme around here....
and once again, why are you ignoring that Texas would necessarily issue sovereign currency?... most likely through a chartered bank.
you know, just like the US government does.
