Yesterday, historian, bestselling author, and C4L contributor Tom Woods appeared with Kevin Gutzman on The Glenn Beck Show, with guest host Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Secession isn't an implied Constitutional power for States to curb federal abuses (see: Texas vs. White). However, peaceful revolution is recognized as a right (confusing, but lets remember that the United States was created from a revolution rather than a legal secession, so in the context of the Constitution States can not seceded but can be dissolved through revolution and a new entity can be formed). Regardless, nullification is a far more pragmatic method for asserting state rights.

Secession Will Form Again The United States Of America!
Inspirational 10 minute video, to say the least!
Embedded in this interview were numerous tidbits of good news, and throughout this interview the tone of the voices were confident and encouraging.
How exciting to hear the news that Andrew Napolitano will soon be using multiple media outlets to educate people about Constitutional law. Armed with that knowledge there will be no way for the lying ego-driven interventionists to hide their treasonous schemes.
The States are on the verge of rebelling against the oppressive and unjust national government - the socialistic and fascist system that is nothing but an unConstitutional coup. Time is running out because the U.S. is about to be functionally bankrupt. The States are technically not bankrupt unless they have allowed the national government to completely deceive them (California comes to mind) and undermine them.
After seceding we are still the United States of America! Before seceding we are disgracefully without true statehood. Peace and prosperity will return when the unConstitutional coup is destroyed!
So, national election rules could change the current 2-party system to say, multi-party participation in elections?
Employing this art.5 of the USC by a national convention assembled at the request of the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the several states. To become valid, amendments must then be ratified by either the legislatures of or ratifying conventions held in three-fourths of the several states, and may not deny any state its equal right to vote in the Senate without its consent.
It's legal but isn't this tough to do? States have been known to buck the feds or certain tiny issues.

The Judge is SOOOOOO much better than Glenn. If we can get him on the air daily I'll have a reason to tune my TV to Fox News.
The right to secede was explicitly written into a few State constitutions and were an explicit requirement for the signing of the US Constitution. Since all States are to be treated equally, all States have explicit rights to secede. It is irrelevant what the Supreme Court would say in those circumstances... the SC represents the federal mandate, not the State's. One party does not get to decide for both the meaning of a mutual contract. Dr. Tom Woods addresses this in one of his history books.
