Yes, that is an important question, and no one knows for sure. Since 1945, 87% of secessions around the world have been peaceful (out of 134 national secessions). A top-rated pollster found that only 7% of Americans think fedgov should attack a seceding state. Here's why it might not: https://redstatesecession.org/many-ruling-classes-have-tolerated-a-secession/
If you give a shit what courts and judges say re: secession, you aren't ready to secede.
So the question becomes, does the Federal government have the will to force a state back into the union.
