To: Libertarianize the GOP
I reckon I just don't buy that argument. As for the the divorce analogy, it's far easier to enumerate a division between 2 entities. But when we're talking about a Union, formed to, among other things, secure the blessings of liberty, I can't see where secession is legal when the process is not specifically stipulated; and when it can be resonably argued that if said Union could dissolve, my liberty could dissolve as well. The Constituion promises my that my liberty is protected. I can't see how it would also allow me to lose my liberty by way of self-destruction.

You might be giving the Government a little to much credit for being the source of your rights. The Constitution was established to help facilitate a method of providing for the protection of Rights and if it no longer fills that role or a better alternative arrives then the Union no longer serves a purpose.
