If it weren’t for the mouth of the Mississippi, Obama might be willing to sell Louisiana to the Chinese. One thing is for certain - the US will never just let a state secede when it can be sold to another country.
Forget secession. That matter has been settled.
LOL! So if someone does something legal, and someone else does something illegal to stop them, does that make the illegal act legal?
However true, therefore, it may be, that the judicial department is, in all questions submitted to it by the forms of the Constitution, to decide in the last resort, this resort must necessarily be deemed the last in relation to the authorities of the other departments of the government; not in relation to the rights of the parties to the constitutional compact, from which the judicial, as well as the other departments, hold their delegated trusts. On any other hypothesis, the delegation of judicial power would annul the authority delegating it; and the concurrence of this department with the others in usurped powers, might subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful remedy, the very Constitution which all were instituted to preserve.

The States ARE 'the parties to the compact', BTW.
That matter has been settled? That was so long ago that most don’t remember so let’s go for it.
Yep, Lincoln settled that little states rights issue long ago.
Forget secession. That matter has been settled.
Who would do the fighting, the ghetto-rats and blue-county big-city RATs?
Secession has only been “settled” until it’s done again. Didn’t have permission the first time. And if we secede here in Texas, no one is going to attack us.
Correct. Secession is possible. The south had successfully seceded before the US attacked. So all we have to do is make sure the US does not attack.
