A sound and smart method, that’s easy use the halls of congress to air your grievances and sue for secession the same way we allow states to be admitted only in reverse.

Start with a bill calling for the secession of a state and have a debate on why that state should be allowed to secede, the whole notion of secession being a unilateral and individual state right is wrong.

The government allows states to join the union and the government has the right to allow states to secede, the individual states don’t get to decide weather or not they can be part of the United States. Say tomorrow Cuba decided it was part of the United States of America, and that Fidel Castro was it’s governor, and he appointed senators and representatives to be part of our congress, how long do you suppose that sort of charade would be allowed to happen?

It’s the same with secession, once joined to the Union it takes the votes of the union to allow secession just as it does with admission....

in other words, you believe that an ABUSED wife should have to ask her ABUSIVE husband's permission to get a DIVORCE???

further, are you REALLY dumb enough not to UNDERSTAND the TENTH AMENDMENT to the Constitution and/OR do you hope that someone/ANYONE here will believe you on any subject, as you are a LIAR & NOTHING more than that???

So, if I understand your logic, the South was not wrong to secede, but only in the manner in which it did so.

If that is correct, then you do not have a problem with secession in and of itself.

A very reasoned reply you have there.

Unfortunately there is nothing in the Constitution that bears any resemblance to your assertions, which makes them useless.

I asked you if you agreed that secession was valid, not your personal opinion on what the Constitution should say.
