I finally found your reference tucked away in the first paragraph. "'to form a more perfect Union.'" You are basing your entire argument on six words that has nothing to do with whether or not states can secede. You should have stuck with anything other that that. If that is the basis of Texas v White I would call that about as bad as Roe. Lucky for you they passed an amendment making it illegal, but I wonder why they would have needed to do that if they had Texas v White as such a strong case to back up that argument.
