"States have the right to secede under our original Articles of Confederation"

This idiot needs to read up on history-the secession issue was decided in a war, as was the ownership of the American southwest.

Not only was it decided in war, it was also bought and paid for.

As a matter of fact it wasn't decided and even when it was decided by law it was a packed Court. If the legal citizens of the respective states in the Southwest choose to vote to secede, I wish them good luck in their future and their endeavors.

Ah, yes. Might makes right, certainly over the will of the people therein.

Maybe you should brush up on your Declaration of Secession, er, Independence.
