Now if you had a half a brain at all you would also realize that the Tenth Amendment also reveals the process for a legal secession as well.

“Powers DELEGATED to the United States by the Constitution”

Legally the power to secession could have been DELEGATED back to the States through a Constitutional Amendment or even other possible legal means but....

The traitors of the democrat party chose differently. The democrats chose treason.

Actually, if "you had half a brain at all," you would realize that the several States reserved the right of secession, when they ratified the Constitution. You can find links to the ratification documents of the States of New York, Rhode Island, and Virginia on my FR home page - all of which implicitly reserve the right of secession to the subject States. If that reservation was not in keeping with the Constitution itself, their ratifications would not have been valid. Because those ratifications were considered valid, the reservations of rights (including the right of secession) were also valid. In other words, you're wrong again - as usual...

Read the Tenth Amendment, sport - the right of secession was reserved to the States, and their people. No other amendment was required.

"Learn to read you moron."

The traitors of the democrat party chose differently. The democrats chose treason.

In my opinion, you're more the traitor than the secessionists - you refuse to recognize the rule of written, constitutional law...
