While all states have nullification right, and responsibility, inherent through the seperation of powers, and effective checks on different levels of government, all states do not have the right to seceed.

For example, the Constitution of the State of Utah states in Article 1, Section 3 that Utah is inseparable from the Union. Without this clause statehood would not have been granted (call it blackmail if you will). This is fine; citizens of Utah (for the most part) are not looking to secession as their answer or response to federal abuse. The answer clearly rests in the proper authority retained by all states, as well as each governing branch, nullification in defense of the oath public servants swear to. The 10th Amendment is a part of the Supreme Law of the land, even for states such as Utah who are inseparable. The bumper sticker reference above says it all.

Hell No! We're Taking Over!"
