That is an interesting comment. Can you cite the constitutional provision prohibiting secession?

"When, therefore, Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States." - Texas v. White (74 U.S. 700)

“Can you cite the constitutional provision prohibiting secession?”

In response to that question, you reply Texas v. White.

Texas v White was a Supreme Court ruling that occurred in 1869 - after 300,000 Southern soldiers had been safely buried.

Victors’ Justice.

Again, can you cite the constitutional provision prohibiting secession?
