8. They can't. It's unconstitutional.

Nonetheless, I'd like to see them try it out for a while.

Just think: They wouldn't be able to get federal aid for hurricaines, floods, tsunamis, etc. They would be on their own if Mexico decided to invade them. There would be no federal. bailout for bank failures. International treaties would not protect anyone from anything. ... Well, you get the idea.

And truth be known, the vast majority of them don't really want to secede. It's just a "talking point and a tactic." And for those who really, really do want to secede, well, I guess those idiots are the definition of being fucked up beyond repair.
