Well, actually it is true.  West Virginia joined the Union during the Civil
war when Virginia had seceded from the Union.  Virginia was not technically
a state at that point.

The question is, suppose me and my neighbors get fed up paying yet another
Willie Don tax increase.  Now suppose we vote to secede.  Is the US
justified  in sending troops in to suppress our secession?  Think of
the Baltics or Yugoslavia...
