Why is this so hard?

The right or power to break with the entire Constitution can't be a right or power like any other under that Constitution.

It would be a mockery of the whole Constitution if a state or locality or individual could simply declare that it no long applies to them whenever they don't like something.

Why is it so hard to realize that if a state is part of a country, it can't simply up and leave it at will whenever things don't go its own way?

Exit of one state or another is something that could be worked out by the whole country in Congress or a convention called by the states, and then everybody would accept it.

There was a time when I believed that the people on Free Republic understood the Constitution and the rights of men.

I was mistaken.
