...which should be limited to giving states the right to voluntarily leave the union they voluntarily joined to begin with...
That didn't work out so well the first time it was tried.
Yeah, the last time was unfortunately an imperfect situation...it had the complication of the unresolved slavery issue...and something like that is always going to have an unpleasant moral stain attached to it no matter what and it tainted a right that should never have been questioned...if not for that complication...
And several key Founders wanted to end that institution one way or another, they failed at the time because to keep the states together meant punting that issue forward...but they failed to resolve it...
Where is the moral stain is reasserting that right now? There is none! People on all sides of this issue seem to have common ground on an understanding that a right to go your own way one way or another should have merit, why not put that through the Founders process available to us?
I outright reject any linking between that effort and an effort specifically targeted to the central point - the voluntary membership of a state and its citizens to any confederation...the Founders language on this subject is clear and never better stated than in the Declaration of Independence, slavery of the eighteenth and nineteenth century variant is dead and buried and as such is a non-issue! The blood shed in that conflict alone should have bought that much! So, jackasses can try that argument...but it should be spiked down their lying throats if tried!!!
