True. But one of those who argue against unilateral secession is James Madison, so I feel that I'm on safe ground agreeing with him. The Supreme Court has ruled that unilateral secession is unconstitutional but the Texas v. White decision is almost as controversial among Southern supporters.
Exactly. I have spoken to a Circuit Court judge from Houston on more than one occasion, who has told me that “Texas vs White” would almost assuredly be overturned if challenged.
