Central_va, when you thought the Constitution backed your argument, you said,

Tell which article and section of the Constitution makes state secession unconstitutional/illegal? I missed that part...

When you were shown differently, your line changed to:

Freedom requires no Constitution.

This is not a particularly respectable position.

And this:

It is nice to codify my God given rights, but it isn't necessary. A state(s) citizens can decide when it is in their best interest to protect their freedom. It is very disturbing how little is thought of states rights today. In 1787 it was the opposite, the states were dominant in every way. You neo Yankee statist, Loncoln lovers, are really sad pathetic creatures. Bereft of any understanding of the founding of our country and what it means to live in a republic. I am afraid a new lesson in states rights is coming.

When you were shown differently . . .

When did that happen? Again, there is no prohibition against secession to be found in the US Constitution. It simply does not exist. Heck, even N-S admits that.
