The article is replete with falsehoods and false analysis of the falsehoods. States secede from the Union in exactly the same way by which they accede to the Union. Accession to the Union requires the application by and assent of the state legislature, the assent of the U.S. Congress, and the ratification of the member states of the Union. Secession likewise requires the application by and assent of the stat legislature, the asseent of the U.S. Congress, and the ratification by the member states of the Union. Unilateral secession by the state and alienation by the Union are prohibeted by the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution.

Accession to the United States has occurred in several ways. Texas was added by legislation, and the annexation law was agreed to by the people of Texas.

New Mexico, Arizona territories were purchased by the US in accordance with treaties with Mexico. Alaska likewise was purchased from Russia. States south of the 48th parallel became part of the Union by treaty with GB.

Disputes between states are required to be resolved by the Supreme Court. That is a legal matter, not a political matter. Every state has a boundary, and both would have to agree to it in the event of secession. That is why any pretense at secession quickly would go to the Supreme Court.
