I think that the flag should come down from government buildings, because it symbolizes slavery.... however, you should read the 10th amendment, as well as the federalist papers, to see the clear right that states were granted, to secede from the union. Slavery is the most hideous crime on the planet, and I'm glad it was eradicated here.... (I wish it wasn't still sanctioned in so much of the world still...), however these are two separate issues.
There may be another time in the future when a state votes that they wish to secede from the union, (maybe New Hampshire), and they will, and should, have the right to do so without being invaded by federal troops.
