To: Non-Sequitur; Idabilly
[Me, and others, quoting Madison in Federalist 43]
...and that a breach, committed by either of the parties, absolves the others, and authorizes them, if they please, to pronounce the compact violated and void.

And as Madison pointed out, all parties to the compact are equal. One party has the power to declare the compact violated any more than the other has to declare the compact unviolated.

That is not what he said in 1788, in the text quoted to you which you don't quote. Your sentences don't even parse because your logic fails. Your statement is surd.

[Me] Game over, Non-Sequitur.

So you keep saying. Yet the game continues.

No, it doesn't. You're out of moves. You're done.

[Me] Elenchus.

[You, resisting elenchus dishonestly] If you're referring to the dinosaur then yes, I'd say that the Southern rebellion of 1861 is as extinct as they are.

You are dishonest and a liar, and you are intransigent in malargument and lying about American history.

If I were a dean, I'd expel you from college at this point. If I were the site host, I'd throw you off the boards for failure to admit honestly that your argument has failed in the face of documentary proofs gathered by many hands against your positions. But he's a lot more latitudinarian than I am, so I'll have to confine myself to attacking you wherever and whenever you appear, to warn people of your tendentious dishonesty -- even your dishonesty is tendentious, you're like a sci-fi Terminator in your wrongdoing -- in arguing and discussing these important, nay foundational, issues of American history.

And it doesn't help your cause, that you are exactly aligned with Red historians like Eric Foner, but that is an observation not an argument.

“If I were the site host, I’d throw you off the boards for...”

If I were the site host I’d suspend the majority of you for incivility that says more about the accuser than the accused, doesn’t contribute to an argument and reflects badly on the forum.
