Choose your weapon.
Discussing the "legalities" of secession is absurd when stacked against the pragmatic reality of what would happen if a state tried to leave the union.
The concept is so tangential to the constitution, that it isn't adequately addressed. That's the truth, and don't shoot me full of a bunch of bullshit about the 10th amendment. It's kind of hard to use a document you are trying to absolve yourself form to make a proper legal argument.
Traitors deserve the cold steel. Just as they did in 1861. I could care less if that sentiment means the neo-secessionists call me dirty names.
I won't shed a tear for anyone that takes up arms against our country.
No name calling but while you are a member you can use whatever mechanism that membership affords to you such as amending the constitution to allow certain states to leave or even dissolve the compact itself. The nice thing about this is that it is a democratic choice of the participants since the amendment has to be approved of with the amendment process.
Sure. I fully agree that the constitution could be amended.
That is much more pragmatic than the knuckleheads who insist it's already there in the fine print.
At any rate, the constitution could be amended, but back on planet Earth.....................
