"An inference from the doctrine that a single State has the right to secede at will from the rest is that the rest would have an equal right to secede from it; in other words, to turn it, against its will, out of its union with them." -- James Madison

Wierd, Non! This is exactly what I said in #687.

[G 687] As far as I am aware, the only way to effectively do this [kick out Mass] would be for all of the other states to seceed and form a new republic, ratify a new constitution, etc. Thus, to kick out a single state would require cohernet movement of all the others, and not just 3/4.

[NS 722] Where do you get that from? There is nothing in the Constitution which prevents a state from being expelled, so your talk about secession and new republic is ridiculous.

Here's where I got it from. I called Ms Cleo and asked what your next attempt to prop up your argument would be. She said, "Non's gwanna staaht postin' ywar aahguments, and sayin' they suppwort his own conclusion, mon."

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make contact with John Edward and ask Madison, "Where do you get that from?"

You should be on the Court - a perfect fit ;o)
