You make far too many presumptions for me to address here. Suffice it to say that your assertion of federal sovereignty cannot be substantiated and since that is the cornerstone of your argument, the entire edifice collapses.

There's no presumption involved.

Did South Carolina -- or did South Carolina not -- solemnly ratify a document on May 23rd, 1788, with the following definition of powers:

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;—between a State and Citizens of another State;—between Citizens of different States;—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

Did South Carolina -- or did South Carolina not -- attempt to have its sovereignty claims lawfully adjudicated before its treasonous expedition against the United States?

Those are the only questions at law. No presumption is involved.
