Actually it is the abuse of power at the federal level which makes secession so attractive.
As there is nothing in the constitution to BAR secession, it is constitutionally legal despite what the federal government would like to claim; despite the attempt by the Supreme court to modify the Constitution by their ruling in White vs Texas.
The Supremacy clause makes secession illegal. A state is prohibited from making laws that conflict with federal law; it would be impossible to secede without doing so.
