No, your wrong. I have already provided four quotes that clearly show the founding fathers called it a revolution or rebellion. If you can provide quotes from the founding fathers using the word secession to describe their revolt from England I would be very happy to look at them.

No, your wrong. I have already provided four quotes that clearly show the founding fathers called it a revolution or rebellion.

Years ago when California voters passed proposition 8, "gay" activists immediately filed a lawsuit to stop it's implementation. One witty fellow said "why don't we save a lot of time and just ask Justice Kennedy what he thinks?"

Well you seem to believe that the opinions of four men have more legal force than the will of entire legislatures of states. I disagree. The people elect the legislatures, and the legislatures speak for the will of the people.

Men, speak for themselves, and for whatever office they hold, but few have greater authority than do the elected representatives of the people all voting in unison.

If you can provide quotes from the founding fathers using the word secession to describe their revolt from England I would be very happy to look at them.

"Secession" only applies to a nation that recognizes a right to separate. England was not such a nation. The US, by it's own Declaration, is such a nation.
