Secussion is a States right issue not a federal one.

There was a big ruckus about 150 years ago about that, IIRC.

This situation is just like a business partnership. Person 1 joins with Person 2 and forms a partnership. Each person has the right to dissolve the partnership.

The States came together (Parties 1-50) and formed a Union. What each State creates it can dissolve.

There is no language in the Constitution forbidding secession. There is no statute on the books passed by Congress forbidding secession.

We are a land of Laws. Many of them. None address this issue.

Therefore it is a viable option. It is, as was stated before in comments on this thread, a State's Rights issue and therefore would be protected under the 10th Amendment.

That pesky 10th Amendment thingy that the Feeds seems so hell-bent to trample!
