The party's state convention over the weekend was muddled with several incidents, including a right-wing activist berating Representative Dan Crenshaw as well as backlash over banning a group of gay Republicans from setting up a booth at the convention.
But parts of their policy platform have drawn significant attentionand criticism. The party voted on measures that, if passed, would urge state lawmakers to secede from the United States and support a complete abortion ban.
On Monday, as reports over the controversial policy positions spread across social media, the state party's website appeared to be down. Links to the website only yielded a page that read: "Error establishing a database connection," rather than the website itself. The website was also down for at least part of the weekend, as well.
The state party had not issued an official statement on the outage, and Newsweek reached out to the party's press office for comment Monday afternoon.

(573 posts)....can not secede from the Union.
I believe that was during President
Lincoln's administration. However,
there doesn't seem to be precedent
as to weather a State could be expelled,
or, perhaps better, sold to Mexico.

(24,085 posts)TX secede from the US (to help the process along, basically saying, good, leave), they were unable to do so (because I guess DB (Data Base issues)), but the thought was a good one. But I do have good friends in TX, I'd hate to see them go to be honest w/ you.
