To: Who is John Galt?
You are assuming that a plebiscite is required, before a State may secede. Upon what do you base that assumption?

So what's your assumption as to how a state may be taken out of the Union? Can anyone do it? Can I get together with a few friends, call ourselves a convention, declare our state seceded (maybe with a ratification vote down the road at some point, even though you don't think it necessary), and then invite foreign troops in?

You are the one claiming it's unconstitutional - cite a specific clause of the US Constitution, sport...
