#753 [#3Fan ] I guess I'm not the only one who saw that secession attempt as being illegal.

#666 [#3Fan] Again, I've never said secession is illegal.

#663 [#3Fan] There's nothing in the Constitution that would say otherwise and I've never said a state doesn't have the right to secede.

#622 [#3Fan] I never said secession was prohibited, I said the Congress gets to set the rules for proof of secession.

Your inane argument is that secession was illegal due to some violation of Article 4, Section 1 -- a violation perceived only by you due to a misreading of the import of Article 4, Section 1.

Cite one court decision that ever held secession was illegal due to any alleged violation of Article 4, Section 1.

Cite any legal expert who has ever writtten that secession was illegal due to any alleged violation of Article 4, Section 1.

So says you. I think different.

I don't care about the opinions of others, I can read the Constitution myself.

Experts schmexperts. The Constitution was written for us to read, not some expert to decipher it for us.
