If all States are free to LEGALLY secede then what is the point of the USA? What would be the mechanism?

Freedumb, where you err, is in thinking that a mere LAW has supremacy over a natural RIGHT. Men have written laws throughout time that abridge other's natural rights, and it has always taken the threat of brute force to make people obey them.

The U.S. was created by agreements amongst the peoples of several sovereign states. If it is ever to disolve, it will do so by a disolution of those agreements. That is the mechanism.

As in a broken marriage, when one party has withdrawn their allegiance to the other, the marriage is over. The resultant divorce and legal activity are mere formalities. The same holds true for political unions.

No, any State, Texas included but not special, would have to forcefully secede.

This isn't the 1860s, bud. No one in this country has the stomach to sacrifice millions of lives over a purely political question.

I guess the word “legal” means something else where you come from. What is your birth language?
