Guys, its a moot point at this stage. Article I, Section 10, paragraph one and three preclude the kinds of actions and confedertions you are proposing. Secession was decided by the WBTS. A number of states would aghere to the current situation, and likely do the same as Lincoln did, to regain or maintain power. We would end up possibly in another wae, or at least be distracted ffrom the foreign enemies who want to destroy us. We must hang togethr and work within to secure our country and its culture, heritag, and capatilistic system. We must elect like minded people to attain our goals, and hold them accountagle. Those who don't measure up should be replaced. Stan

Artcle I
