Without a change to the Constitution this "compact" is a clear and open attempt to subvert the Constitution and therefore everyone a party to it is guilty of conspiring to avoid the highest law in the land.

The RICO act should be used to put all the State legislators who vote for this "compact", at a minimum, in Federal prison and the leaders of the movement should be executed for publicly advocating and fostering treason.

The causes of the Civil War pale in comparison to what are now routine clear and open violations of the Constitution by both State and Federal officials.

Three-fourths of what's wrong with this country today would never have happened had Grant been the one surrendering to Lee. We'd have different problems, but I seriously doubt they'd be as bad as we're having now.

JMHO

Grant didn’t surrender to Lee because it was Lincoln that called out to God for help. And FWICR, the Confederacy had no intention of taking over the rule of the northern states. A divided USA would have gone nowhere, something tells me, and might have been reabsorbed by Britain.

The only thing stopping full out communism orders, and kill orders of the opposition are our Guns. We are very close...
