Whatever.

You keep going around in circles, attempting to justify secession from our Constitutional Union as an individual right.
-- It is.


-- Anyone that wants can renounce their citizenship. -- But as long as they stay in the USA, they must support our Constitution as the law of the land.

Seceding as a group, as a State, and continuing to live in the boundaries of the USA as a foreign power, is an entirely different 'game'. -- One you would not be allowed to play by the rest of the citizens of this Republic.

But feel free to dream on..

Unlike you, I don't have to "dream" - the Constitution nowhere prohibits State secession, and the right to secede is therefore reserved to the States and their people. Period. The Constitution provides the 'rules' for this "game," my friend - it is "the supreme Law of the Land." All you can do is attempt to justify breaking the rules.

Congratulations!
