It is common sense that states had and have the right to secede. But really does it matter ? If the states want to go, the US government doesn’t have the reslove or power to stop them this time. The blacks or hispanics couldn’t care less and I don’t see guys from Vermont trying to invade another state this time. I’m not calling for it, but I think the states would win this time easily.

You'd find most of the country completely satisfied if some states, or parts, left the union.

Chicago, for example ~ then New York City, Long island and Connecticut.

Parts of Jersey, parts of Pennsylvania, parts of Michigan ~ Brownsville TX.

We can all make similar lists.

My thoughts, exactly.

I tend to agree that the will power to force the issue doesn’t exist. I believe that if a sizable state or states were to pursue seccession in a peaceful manner, they would be able to do so successfully.
