Does a State have the right to secede?

...I believe the morality of our leaders is an important consideration in selecting people to serve in public office. And sometimes that means calling certain behavior or actions "wrong". Not to many politicians are willing to do that. Lincoln did.

Of course I agree with that. But we can't expect our leaders to be moral if, as a society, we are not. Too much talking on cell phones, and Facebook, and Twitter, and not enough time spent with the kids, for starters. And if marriage doesn't work out, one can always get a divorce. Or why bother with marriage at all, when you can just live together and become illegitimate parents (gawd, I sound so OLD...and old-fashioned...)
