Ok, so how many states do you need to secede?

A majority vote in Congress is all that's needed for a state to be admitted to the Union. I see no reason why the same criteria cannot apply to a state wishing to leave.

In the case of Massachussetts, I'd say it's too bad your critera wouldn't apply to a state, regardless of its wishes. ;)
