A state should be able to secede (break away) from the US if they disagree with the US government?

The Constitution does not directly mention secession, but the Supreme Court has consistently interpreted the Constitution to be an indestructible union. There is no legal basis a state can point to for unilaterally seceding. So basically, no, a state can not secede, it is blatantly illegal.
