Secession, ratification, and all other sovereign matters inuring to the People's power are flatly ultra vires the Congress of the United States and the United States court system.

And that is flatly BS.

Oh, really? Just watch what happens when the Congress or SCOTUS tries to overrule a State's ratification of an amendment to the Constitution.

Let's establish first that no power on God's green earth, and certainly in the U.S. Government, can interfere with the right of the People to go into convention to originate or ratify amendments to the Constitution. You on board with that, Lincoln fan?

Who's going to interfere with that?

Who's going to tell Tennessee or Iowa they can't ratify -- that they can't touch a proposed amendment? Or that they have to? Or that they can't propose an amendment to the Constitution?

You just really are a bit too big for your britches, do you know that? What do you eat for breakfast?

Show me the power. Don't tell me, show me. Cite and quote.
