The right to leave is listed in the state's constitution and it was accepted by the feds......
It looks to me like they have that right.
It's not a big deal though because the constitution does not grant the federal government the power to prevent such an act and the tenth amendment gives all powers not specifically granted to the feds by the constitution to the states unless it is specifically denied to the states by the constitution and then it remains a power of the people.
The civil war was unconstitutional for two primary reasons:
1. The federal government did not have the power to force states to remain in the union.
2. War was declared without the proper majority of congressional approval.
The supreme court ruling is also bogus because the constitution doesn't give the court that power.
The whole issue is a moot point because we are living in a oligarchy instead of the republic which was founded. We no longer have any rights - they have become privileges that are granted at the grace of the federal government.
