There is no where in the US Constitution that prohibits secession, we are not talking laws passed by corrupt congresses, we are talking Constitution.

I have never seen such a bunch of cry babies as I have here.

I am sorry the simple logic escapes you.

If a state were to secede, it would have to either alter its Constitution or pass some kind of law to enact secession.

All state acts and all provisions of state constitutions, according to the US Constitution, are subject to federal review.

Therefore, any act of secession requires the consent of the federal government - which everyone knows will not be given.

It's pretty simple in theory, and we already know what the consequences of secession are in practice.

Apparently, in your vernacular, "crybaby" means "anyone who dares to point out the gaping holes in my reasoning."

How many of the required 300,000+ KJV Onlyists have moved to Maine so far?
