You may hold that opinion and feeling but you`re legally and factually wrong, end of story.

Calling my position 'legally and factually wrong' doesn't make it so. The Founders constructed the Constitution the way they did to prevent the States from having to fight another war if being in the Union was no longer to their benefit.

Were the people regarded in this transaction as forming one nation, the will of the majority of the whole people of the United States, would bind the minority; in the same manner as the majority in each State must bind the minority; and the will of the majority must be determined either by a comparison of the individual votes; or by considering the will of a majority of the States, as evidence of the will of a majority of the people of the United States. Neither of these rules has been adopted. Each State in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation then the new Constitution will, if established, be a federal and not a national Constitution.
Federalist, no. 39 James Madison, 16 Jan. 1788

Texas vs White is nothing more than a governmental edict of forced association among the States, and there's nothing Constitutional about it.
