The Supreme Court cannot arbitrarily declare same-sex marriage to be banned. Even were they not to uphold Perry v. Schwarzenegger, they can’t take marriage away from the states that have it.

Oh wait, three seconds of google has an answer: "There's a lot of different scenarios," Perry said. "We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/16/texas-governor-says-secession-possible/ How a man who came *this* close to openly calling for secession two years ago can run for the presidency of a nation he said he would take part in dissolving is just beyond me.
