Texas Reaffirms State Sovereignty

I think this is great. Not because secession is a good idea - it certainly is not - but because it's important for people to realize that the founders intended for state and local governments, rather than the federal government, to weild the bulk of the power to make decisions affecting citizens' lives.

It has nothing to do with the alleged virtuousness or wisdom of a particular leader. Centralized power is always, always, always oppressive.
