Rearguing Texas v. White

(Jonathan H. Adler)

Some Texans, including the current governor, maintain that Texas retained the right to secede when it joined the United States.  The Supreme Court's 1869 decision in Texas v. White would suggest  otherwise.  But was the Court correct?  Via the WSJ Law Blog comes news that the Supreme Court Historical Society is hosting a mock retrial of the case.  Justice Scalia will preside.
