Hamilton did not believe in any "right" to secede. (This was one of the reasons he was so anti-Burr)

Madison did not believe in any "right" to secede. (He explicitly stated in a letter to Hamilton that once a state joined the Union it was in it forever.)

Washington did not believe in any "right" to secede. (Most of his Farewell Address is pointed at the scroundrels, crooks and mountebanks who considered such a course.)

Jackson did not believe in any "right" to secede. (He was ready to hand the Fools in South Carolina edging in that direction.)

Lincoln did not believe in any "right" to secede. (He saved the Union when the RAT Insurrection was attempted in 1861.)

Even Jefferson did not believe in any "right" to secede. (His inaugural address in 1801 held its advocates up to ridicule and scorn.)

I will happily join such "tyrants" as these in opposition to the honor graduates of Clown College who are incapable of understanding (or unwilling to admit) that the constitution would be meaningless with such a "right."

US Congress "We hearby declare War on China."
Massachusetts "We don't want to fight China, we SECEDE." Oh, yeah this is clearly a "right."

While Texas may be a special case due to its joining the Union as a seperate country none of the other states have any such rights. The Union was formed by the American PEOPLE not the states which is the misunderstanding underlying all these bogus arguments about a "right" to secede.

It is a logical impossiblity. Even the Articles of Confederation stated that the Union was perpetual thus, the goal of the Constitution "To form a more perfect Union" would not have been met by allowing the reformed Union (Union 2.0) to be weaker than the earlier version (Union 1.0).

BTW you can shove the namecalling UYA. :^)
