Unilateral secession is unconstitutional, so says the Supreme Court in Texas v. White. There’s only one legal way to secede and that is through mutual decision of all the affected states.

Actually, that poorly put together court decision, only brought about because the carpetbagger government wanted to steal bond money from some of the citizens, stated that the only way to secede was through revolution or consent of the states. Well guess what? All of the states consented to leaving - Texas at least even had a public vote of the populace for it. The ones that didn't consent, just stayed in the Union. That decision also specified that membership in the Union was indissoluble and permanent. So if that's true, how could they say that there is a way to secede? Both of those can't be true at the same time...
