Not me, that was nonsequitur.
But since you asked, did anybody say, when the 10th Amendment was debated, "Wow, this will secure our right to secede unilaterally!" (or words to that effect in the language of the day)?
My apologies...

The right of secession is obviously included among "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States," which "are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people [of the States]." If you disagree, would you care to cite a specific constitutional clause that prohibits State secession?
