You seemed to have forgotten this part:

What in the heck are you talking about? It's not about why a state wants to secede. It's about whether they have the right to secede.

Do you know of any law which prohibits a state from leaving the Union?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Notice, it's the people that define the authority of the United States of America - Not the States. The only way the US can be dissolved (and that's what you traitors want to happen) is through the will of the people. If the States had the power to dissolve the Union, they would have given the states that power. But of course, you neo-confederates don't really care about the Constitution.

Talking about secession is just as stupid when the Libtards talk about moving to France or Canada.

Finally it should be noted, that if South Carolina tried to make it on it's own it would be bankrupt in about a year.
