And why you would want or need a legal OK from the very Constitution that you are tearing up and walking away from is beyond me.

It is false to say it is in the letter of the Constitution.

As to the 'spirit' of the 10th amendment, under any reading by which the states retain a right to secession, the people retain a right to maintain the Union in perpetuity.

So far, that is exactly what they have done.

Frankly, you don't even sound rational.

Sounds like a gun law. Its a law. your not allow to break the law. Where would the blacks be if they followed the law.

I am proud to be a on this board. I have learned soo much.

Show me somewhere else where the Constutition allows a state to act in an arbitrary manner against the wishes of the other states and I'll give more credibility to your theory on the 10th Amendment. Until then arbitrary secession is, always has been, and all ways will be forbidden by the Constitution. Just like the Supreme Court said it was.
