If you'll remember, I mentioned to you before that Arizona had also seceded on February 3, 1861, more than a month before the document you cite.

I submit that while it's possible for states to secede with the consent of the other states, absolutely nothing in the Constitution supports the idea of a territory seceding.

Despite what FreeRepublic's rules say, you can't post that without the permission of other posters. After all, your posts may cause nausea and baldness in opposition posters.
