Instead of reading some long-winded opinion from 1964, it's easier and more accurate to just read the Constitution and it says the Congress may prescribe laws for states to prove their acts. Secession is an act.

Secession is not a Legislative Act. It may prove to be quite difficult to put an Official State Seal on it.

I see you do not want to read anything the Supreme Court says, and not you do not want to read the official publication of the Congress on the matter.

If you tried to purchase a law book to educate yourself on the matter, you probably could not even identify the relevant subject matter in which the law book would be found.

Your qualifications as an expert are impressive.

"Public acts" is what Article IV says. All the more reason for Congress to set the process if it can't have the same proof as a marriage.

Sure don't. The only thing the Supreme Court is good for is to have legal say to avoid chaos and anarchy. If a Supreme Court judge has bad judgment, then we try harder to pick better ones. I'm not going to agree with anyone just because they're a judge.

No need for a law book. The Constitution was written for a fair-minded people to read. It's lawyers and activist judges that are destroying our Constitutional freedoms. It's better to read from the Constitution itself.

Every citizen is an expert. It's what "of the people" means.
