The USA was a collection of states, where the states each had their own power. The federal government was created to "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"... don't we all know that from Schoolhouse Rock? I sang it as I typed it. Anyhow, nowhere does the document power to do anything they do now. The states are to have the power to protect themselves. That is what Texas is doing. They are honoring the Constitution, and their states rights.
