Where did it say they could NOT withdraw?  And if they had no right  
to seceed then why did they amend the constitution AFTER the war to  
THEN declare a state could not seceed.  How can you take away  
something that supposedly wasn't there in the first place?  I have a  
hard time belieive you re Distinguished Professor of Law.  What kind  
of law?  Certainly not Constitutional Law.
