Geraldo Rivera: Seccession is treason!

Geraldo, my fellow American, secession is not treason. Matter-of-fact, look up Aaron Burr who was even conspiring with a Spainish general to secede in the old West, and was not even convicted of treason.

Here is the tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America:

Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Now.. if you can find where in the Constiution it says that the Union cannot be dissolved or State's cannot leave, show me. If you can't, then State's have every right to secede.. and as Jefferson Davis said, it is one of those "inalienable rights".

Also, the United Colonies, which on July 4th, 1776 named themselves the United States of America, seceeded from Great Britian, were they treasonous? How about when the Republic of Texas seceeded from Mexico and won it's indepedance in the Texas Revolution? How about when countries seceeded from the USSR?

Every state has every right to secede, unless you have some invisible ink revealer that I might be able to use to find these texts that say State's may not secede. Also in the annexation of Texas, Texas wanted to make sure it could secede if the Federal government became overbearing.. as Sam Houston is known for saying that Texas will never know oppression.
