Lol, Article 1 Section 10 starts off with, "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation..." There's been two court cases that have decided this, one in 1867 and another in 1869. Justice Scalia has also talked about the unconstitutionality of secession because there's simply no legal basis in it to begin with. States that do secede no longer have protection under the Constitution, so what exactly is your legal defense to begin with? Also, understand what an unalienable (natural) right is. Individuals have natural rights, states do not.They specifically said that all states were seperate soverign entities in the treaty of Paris. Try harder.
As for the freedom of businesses to discriminate, donald sterling was forced to sell the clippers for some stuff he said in his own home. So the infringement of freedom goes both ways as long as it doesn't involve gov't
I mean, there was a war fought over this. It was essentially decided then. If you want to secede, you're free to build a boat and sail the **** off.
