If they are expelled then they are no longer a state, are they?For which constitutionally enumerated power is expulsion of a state necessary and proper?

If they are expelled then they are no longer a state, are they?Specifically, what part of "without its Consent" don't you understand? You think it's ok for a state to be kicked out against it's will, but wrong to leave voluntarily?

Clearly the states of the Confederacy were out of the Union while the Radical Republicans prohibited their senators from being seated.
We have a precedent for kicking Massachusetts out.
