>>Any of the states can legally secede from the union.<<
I repeat: Under current federal law no State may legally secede.

So? Current federal law is irrelevant vis-a-vis the Constitution.

“I repeat: Under current federal law no State may legally secede.”

The inalienable rights granted by our Creator, supersede the laws of men. Those rights form the very basis of our political union to begin with.

Federal law is NOT the relevant law when dealing with issues involving two or more nation states. (A state that secedes becomes a nation state) International law becomes the relevant law and as we saw in Kosovo the international law allows for the breakup of a nation state should the people of a region of that state decide they want to leave. If California keeps welcoming reconquistiors cali might find itself Mexico again.
