Does a State have the right to secede?

[Gene C]

The Supreme Court has done it on a number of occasions, and it hasn't always worked out well.

The cases I can recall are ones that dealt with moral issues, and I felt the Court focussed to much on what was legal, and not what was morally right.
Many will argue that is not the role of the Court, but history teaches us that the morality of a country is directly related to the long term success of a country.
The Bible teaches that when people follow the instructions of God, he will bless them. If they don't, he will punish them. That is why 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.
