All power isn't inherent in the people. Only those powers not reserved to the United States by the Constitution or prohibited by it are reserved to the states and the people. And secession without the consent of the other states wasn't one of them.
But of course, you know that since Lentulus has “busted your chops” on that issue more than once.
Lentulusgracchus couldn't "bust the chops" of the village idiot. He just spouts the same crap you do, and like you expects the world to accept it without question.
Well, I for one am not going to just swallow your facist garbage. If you don’t think that power is inherent in the people, you are no better than Hitler, or Stalin. You have some nerve calling LG an “idiot”. Just because some people don’t care to be bamboozled by your smoke & mirror show doesn’t make them idiots.
I will continue to cry “TRIPE”, when “Tripe” is served!
Ping me when you diss me, troll.

Ping to my #303 above.
So, on what clause of the Constitution do you rest your hero's rape of the South, and of the Constitution?
Can you point me to the clause authorizing the President to make war on his own motion, without reference to the Congress, and treat the People like a pustule? To suppress the rights of the People in their States, to exercise their right to secede from political abuse and the ascendancy of a violently (as in Kansas and at Harper's Ferry) hostile political faction?
What's your constitutional remedy, your redress, for hostile, violent, and punitive political measures inflicted on a State or States just because of animus among the majority? What is going to stop a factional polemarch from ascending to the Presidency, in your system of government, using the war powers (washed clean by Congress of course, after the fact) to burn, pillage, and genocidally destroy the hated States and their People?
What is your remedy? Sue? LOL!! Dead people can't afford lawyers.
Show me that, under Lincoln's administration and in his administrative practices, sovereignty did not reside on his desk. Show me that Lincoln did not make himself into a tyrant. Show me where Congress or the Courts successfully checked him, and where Lincoln altered or abandoned a major initiative because of a constitutional or institutional check on his power.
Show me that Lincoln was not precisely the phenomenon that the Framers specifically intended the American political system they instituted to be able to resist, contain, and defeat.
Show me.
Oh, really? The People can't unmake their government? What an interesting concept.
So, who does have all power, N-S? Who has the power to tell the People, "no"?
Who pwns the People? Who's our Daddy?
