The power was never given to the Federal Government to conduct that kind of sale.

The power to tax individuals in the states, prohibit sale of alcohol in the states, or require states to allow women or blacks to vote in their states was never in the Constitution either until 2/3 of congress and 3/4 of the states said it would be.

If the Union of the States is not perpetual, there is nothing that prevents 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states from expelling other states from the Union.

Read Madison and see what he thought about your unilateral secession BS.

Read the Constituion so you don't sound like so much of a Central Government moron.

Now since you decided to start losing your cool, our conversation is over.
