There is nothing [ that prevents secession ] in the Constitution. It was/is a right retained by the People, and their States.....

But there are ways to go about seceding. And as the Supreme Court ruled, the southern states went about it the wrong way.

The Supreme Court wasn't a party to the Compact. Secession is determined by the ultimate Supreme'o'.... The People.

Furthermore, The Supreme Court has rubber stamped some pretty blatant violations of The List of 'Shall Not'..
