the TENTH AMENDMENT states that ALL POWERS NOT CEDED to the central government, remain the POWERS of the STATES/the people. secession was NEVER ceded to the federal government!

No, what the 10th Amendment says is that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. The ability to secede unilaterally is a power prohibited the states. Or so the Supreme Court found.

admit it, Mr Minister, your previous posts on this subject were KNOWINGLY FALSE on your part, were they not???

No.
