I sure don't think I want to live in a state that tried it. The last 11 that did sure got the crap kicked out of them by the Federal Government.
if it is in Washington District of Corruption’ s best interest, secession will be allowed. If not, the seceding states will be squashed like bugs. 1776 through 1861: The United States ARE. 1865 to present: The United States IS. Shelby Foote

Well, I think the Constitution is certain on this point. There is no clause that says a state cannot leave of its own accord. Since all powers not specifically granted to the Federal government are reserved to the states and the people, the answer lays right there: it is their decision.

Now what gets them in trouble is if they decide to fire upon the feds. At that point, they have declared war on the US and the US can respond in a similar fashion. Now, lets look around and note where the military bases of note are located. Hum, seems to me they are not located in the liberal states for the most part probably because they detest the military in the first place. No problem, they can have the Zero talk them back into the fold.
