No I was pointing out the logic in making it unconstitutional to secede, which it obviously is.

Even Hamilton, one of the most ardent Federalists of the time, saw the legality in secession. I'll post a couple of his quotes from the Federalist papers this evening. Still doesn't even cover the fact that Virginia, Rhode Island, and New York all signed the Constitution with the express written understanding that they could leave at any time
