FLT-bird: "Since nowhere in the Constitution does it grant the federal government the power to prevent secession, then that is a right retained by the states."

Nor did Washington under Democrat President Buchanan take any actions to prevent secessions.

FLT-bird: "But of course over and above that the two sectional leaders Virginia and New York made it crystal clear they were keeping that right with express declarations saying so at the time that they ratified the Constitution."

But no state and no Founder ever claimed an unlimited right of secession at pleasure.
All tied disunion to necessities, abuses & usurpations as spelled out in their Declaration of Independence.

FLT-bird: "Any argument put forth by the PC Revisionists to the contrary is a 'might make right' argument. "

A Declaration Of War, as Confederates did May 6, 1861, is the ultimate "might makes right" argument.

You are simply not going to steal hours of my day every day.

I doubt that you will encounter a more miserable pair of Lost Cause Losers than we have with these two.
