rockrr: Please point out the provision of the United States Constitution that enumerates this pretend "legal right".

You have it backwards. Point out the provision in the constitution that says states do not have that right.

As usual, you're completely ignorant.

As usual you’re too dimwitted to see the bigger picture. Of course the Constitution is silent on secession: it does not enumerate nor does it prohibit secession. Lincoln himself held that he was powerless to stop the states from seceding. He hoped that cooler heads and the rebel’s “better angels” would weigh in and stop the madness. Unfortunately there were none to be had.

What Lincoln did have was specific authority to defend the United States against acts of sedition, insurrection, and war. He did use those powers against the Slaver’s Rebellion - quite successfully I might add.

“You have it backwards. Point out the provision in the constitution that says states do not have that right.”

Your understanding of the constitution is, of course, right.

Amendment X reads: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Those that dispute the validity of Amendment X should also see Amendment IX.

This is one of the reasons for the disputes on this site. The schools do not teach the constitution anymore
