Under natural law, not United States law.
You don't know the history.

LOL - That's not a defense of your false statement, Wlat. You said, and I quote: "There were no illusions in 1788-90 as to the permanence of Union under law". Your statement was completely false, and if the above is your response to the evidence I presented that proved it, then you are admitting your error. They would not have deliberately included statements that they could reassume those powers if they thought the union "permanent". As to "United States law", since some States very purposefully stated in the very documents that created the union that they could reassume the powers ceded to that union, the entire union itself would be void as a fraudulent agreement if the union declared it illegal for them to do so.
You don't know the history.
LOL - Apparently I know a lot more than you. Yet once again you have forced me to expose your ignorance and lies about history.
I'm still waiting on a verifiable source for that one quote, BTW. Actually, I'm still waiting for you to respond to a number of such requests I've made over the last month. It seems you can't answer those requests, which is an answer in itself.
