As I've already demonstrated in the convention thread, secession is constitutional.

No, it isn't. Texas v. White proved that much.

What would that be (pardon my ignorance)? Also, my constitutional justification of secession has not thus far been refuted.

Fairly famous Supreme Court case.

The Supreme Court doesn't have a monopoly over reading the constitution. Rather than citing a Supreme Court case that, if correct, would have it that West Virginia is still part of Virginia, how about you actually try to attempt to refute my argument.

Well this is deja-vu, not only has the South attempted to seceed before but True Democrat moved to Puerto Rico and declared himself Emperor about two years ago in an attempt to try to make things interesting.

I was not Emperor.  I simply seceded, but I think I made it into a republic.

     Why did the secession fail?

Nobody cared so it all ended from lack of anything interesting happening because of it.
Ahem....it also had to do with the loyal military forces of the Southeast invading Puerto Rico under the direction of their Governor.
