However they worded it, as long as the People acted to take their State out of the Union, it was still legal.

It was not legal under U.S. law, as the Judiciary Act of 1789 requires that civil controversies between the states be submitted to the Supreme Court.

This whole neo-reb rant will not stand the slightest exposure to the record.

The Act of 1790 recognized that the state acts were legal. Accordingly, they ceased being a state in the union.
