My mistake. I apologize.

 

If Mark Shea had said it, then I would be annoyed. :hehe:

victims quite often get blamed and the perpetrators quite often get away with their crimes.  but someday they will have to answer to God!

Can someone give me any viable legal citation that shows why any State other than maybe Alaska and Hawaii cannot secede?

Why should the default assumption be that the states can secede?

Because nowhere does it say we can't.

 

 

Nowhere does it say that you can.  States must enter the union with the permission of the federal government.  The articles of confederation described the union as 'perpetual' which suggests that going way back the assumption was that states cannot leave, except perhaps with the permission of the other states, as the USSC noted.

Texas joined through a treaty.  Simple 'nuff to nullify it.

The Catholic Church forever.  The Union is diseased and dying...
