You evaded my question. Read my post again, please. I'm not debating the plus or minus of the actual secession that occurred. I am asking what do we do NOW?

No, you're holding up the Southern actions as a Constitutional solution to the problem of being picked on. And I'm pointing out the basic unfairness of the doctrine that any state can leave and use the Constitution as a way of screwing over the remaining states. If a state wants to leave then go. I don't care why they want to go. The reasons for secession don't matter. A state can, in my opinion, leave for any reason or for no reason at all. The question is how they go about it. Leaving with the consent of all the impacted parties is the only way.

Just exactly how would Florida seceding screw over Wyoming?

Too complicated. The court cases would never end. Never.

Your attitude is scary: Nation-state above all else, including individual freedom.

You need to re-read the Bill of Rights.
