As I have shown you, states are not sovereign. You keep misunderstanding, intentionally at this point as I’ve already corrected you twice, what sovereign doctrine means. No state is sovereign, nor at any time in US history have they been sovereign. It’s why they can’t leave the union without permission.

As usual with regard to the US Constitution, you are wrong. States have always been sovereign as the founders originally intended. States can leave the Union. However, as when joining the Union, it requires an act of Congress and the approval of adjoining States before another State can leave the Union. Such approval is possible, just not very likely. States may not simply leave the Union whenever they please. It required a constitutional process for States to join the Union, and there is a constitutional process for States leaving the Union. See Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 of the US Constitution.

The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.

As usual with regard to the US Constitution, you are wrong.

States have always been sovereign as the founders originally intended.

At no point have they been sovereign, after the constitution was ratified. It’s why they can’t leave the union without permission.

States can leave the Union.

Nope. Only if they have permission.

However, as when joining the Union, it requires an act of Congress and the approval of adjoining States before another State can leave the Union.

Which is why states aren’t sovereign. If they were, they wouldn’t need permission.

Such approval is possible, just not very likely. States may not simply leave the Union whenever they please. It required a constitutional process for States to join the Union, and there is a constitutional process for States leaving the Union. See Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 of the US Constitution.

Which is why states aren’t and have never been sovereign. And why I am again correcting you regarding basic constitutional law. You are intentionally misrepresenting what sovereign doctrine is. Which is simply that a person can be tried under both federal and state law without facing double jeopardy. That’s it.
