"there's a SIMPLE reason that he/she can NOT find a PROHIBITION of SECESSION in the Constitution."
For anybody to even hint that secession is not a constitutional right, simply shows a lack of understanding. Secession was the absolute last line of defense against government folks who thought they were the best thing since sliced bread and could steal some power and take anybody they wanted to the cleaners. Doesn't that sound remarkably like what is occurring in govt. today?
Anyway, the founding fathers had many a discussion on this issue and it was totally decided that each and every state had the right of secession. Twas to teach the federal govt. to mind their manners. After all, the Union was formed by the STATE'S consent, not the other way around, as the 'ole tyrant declared...
when the western/LEFT coast (with AZ,CO,NM & NV) SECEDE to form Los Estados Unidos de Azatlan (and imVho this WILL happen within 20 years!!!!) i wonder how many MILLION Americans the HATERS out of the LEFTIST/HATE-filled/ELITIST/IMPERIALIST/northeast will WILLINGLY kill/rape/rob/torture THIS TIME to "preserve the union" of the UNwilling!
