Why don’t you quit embarrassing yourself in advocating silliness?

There is no “right” for a state to secede. Never has been. A state is free to ask to do so, but the Federal government can, on firm Constitutional grounds, tell it to go pound sand. The case law is Texas vs White. If there was any intention to provide states the “right” to secede then the Constitution would have been amended a long time ago to provide a mechanism.

The only means for secession at this point are extra-legal. I.e. insurrection and rebellion. If you wish to advocate for that, then have at it.

There is no Constitutional grounds for the position which claims secession is not legal. You can keep stamping your foot like an idiotic petulant child and say it isn’t so but the fact is I’m right.
