>>OIFVeteran to Kalamata: “Luckily Lincoln wasn’t using the general welfare clause when he was suppressing the rebellion. He was using the authority given to him by congress when they passed the militia act of 1792”

The living-constitution progressive, Joey, is being deceitful, again. I have been over this many times. States are sovereign, so there is no one above them to rebel against, except God.

The Whiskey Rebellion was a skirmish by a group of individuals. States cannot rebel, nor insurrect; they can only leave (secede.)
All attempts to conflate rebellion and insurrection with secession of an entire state and its government is deceitful, to be kind.
