Secession is a bad idea.

Maybe a bad idea. But is it legal?

Lincoln proved it was illegal.

It could happen, but it would require the consent of Congress and the states.

Unilateral secession is expressly unconstitutional.

Legal? LOL! So we are to adhere to the Constitution while they do NOT!? What nonsense!

“when in the course of human events”

We no longer have enough common ground. Why would it be a bad idea if we have not enough common ground? Are you arguing that there is still plenty of common ground?
