some years ago, in the face of MULTIPLE MILLIONS of MURDERS of the UNBORN (ordered by the USSC!), i thought that MIGHT be the spark that took at least SOME states out of the union.
otoh, i truly believe that at 60YO, that i will live to see LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AZATLAN established from the former states of AZ,CA,CO,NM,NV,OR & WA.i believe this will happen in 10-20 years.
UNLESS the rest of the states/the federal government decides to prosecute a CIVIL WAR, that will make the "Late Unpleasantness of 1861-65" look like a Sunday School picnic, Azatlan will be FREE. (imVho, the NEW & MUCH improved SOUTHRON REPUBLIC will PEACEFULLY secede shortly after that.)
fwiw, i believe that my 2YO niece will live to raise her family in a FREE southland.

But over a dozen have been admitted, none of them apparently thinking to mention that they think they can leave at their whim. You'd think that somewhere, sometime, one of them would have said "Despite what Texas v. White says, we're joining the union only with the understanding that we can leave anytime we want." You'd think that, especially after the Civil War, they'd make that clear. If they believed it, of course.
