Civil War

A letter to the editor in The Virginian Pilot states the belief that "many constitutional scholars today affirm their right then and now to secede". The letter writer was referring to the right of Virginia-and I would assume-and other states to leave the union if they so desired. I have not heard this argument before and wonder if there is any truth in it.
