Let me guess, you disagree with the Chief Justice's interpretation of the Constitution. Well, there isn't a lot that I can do about that. There have been Supreme Court decisions that I've disagreed with, too. But in the end your approval or disapproval doesn't mean spit. Unilateral secession as practiced by the southern states is a violation of the Constitution, and it will remain so until the Constitution is amended or a future court overturns Texas v. White.

Now THERE is a point upon which we can agree! Doesn't alter the TRUTH one iota however!

Bull Sh*t!

Firstly there were NO unilateral secessions! EVERYONE of them was done by acts of the legislatures of the states concerned and there would have been MORE of them except for the UNILATERAL actions of King Abraham and his minions preventing those duly constituted bodies from acting!

Fact is that the ENTIRE history of this nation is based on the self evident right of secession and you well KNOW that!
