also, OBVIOUSLY, as an "outsider", you have NO real knowledge of what the members of the SCV think/feel.
in other words, you post is IGNORANT, in the extreme.

Not without the approval of a majority of the other states through a vote by their representatives in Congress they can't. The Supreme Court ruled that almost 140 years ago.
btw, "back off". weren't you RAISED BETTER than to talk so disrespectfully to a LADY??? Mrs. Schwerin IS a lady, rather than "one of the guys down at the pool hall".

Bigoted bunch, ain't ya?

Then maybe she shouldn't be trying to shoot pool with the men.
to my knowledge, no other fraternal organization would accept someone who disagrees with & CONDEMNS the goals of their organization, either.

Rebellion? Or slavery?
Show me where the Constitution says that unilateral secession IS allowed?
admit it, Mr Minister, your previous posts on this subject were KNOWINGLY FALSE on your part, were they not??? YOU are NOT either stupid or ignorant, unlike the rest of the "unionist coven of dunces, bigots, lunatics & HATERS". (you know better, but CHOOSE not to DO better.)

No, what the 10th Amendment says is that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. The ability to secede unilaterally is a power prohibited the states. Or so the Supreme Court found.
admit it, Mr Minister, your previous posts on this subject were KNOWINGLY FALSE on your part, were they not???
No.
1. Dredd Scott was NOT a person,
2. separate (lawful segregation) WAS equal in public education,
3.abortion was NOT murder,
4. freedom of RELIGION meant freedom FROM religion AND a host of other really BAD & illogical DECISIONS! (given those sorts of decisions, maybe President Davis was CORRECT in not appointing a CSSC!)
as you are aware, i believe the authors & signers of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation AND the US Constitution would be HORRIFIED at today's judiciary.
it's time to "TRIM THE JUDGES WINGS", once and for all time!

Well, the Davis regime had a way of trimming their wings. They just refused to appoint a Supreme Court regardless of the fact that the confederate constitution required one. Ignoring the constitution is soooo much easier than abiding by it.
Personally, no. Under the Constitution of the United States, yes. If your state didn't like the rules, they shouldn't have ratified. Of course, your state LOVED the Dred Scott decision.
It's interesting, though, that you call Taney a "black-robed DICTATOR" then bitch about Lincoln possibly considering having him arrested.

What's the aim of the organization? Is it to put flags on the graves of reb soldiers? Is it maybe put up a private monument to those fellows? That's not for me, but I don't have anything against those goals.
But if the new goals of the SCV are to whitewash slavery, trash Lincoln and the Union or to serve as an auxiliary for the League of the South, that doesn't seem like the mission of a heritage organization to me.
Don't worry about me trying to join the SCV. There isn't even any chapters in my part of the world. Just curious. Since you are an SCV man, do you think the national organization would approve of me starting the General William Tecumseh Sherman Camp of the SCV?
Come to my arms!
I think that "once and for all time" is too much to hope for. Rather, we should impeach judges every term, say, one from each circuit, "pour encourager les autres".
Same with Senators and Congress Critters. One per Circuit for senators, 4 per circuit for Congress critters.
Self-appointed Jeff Davis was the godfather of the dictatorial slave empire (defeated).
The Nazis based their defeated dictatorship on race too.
I would be surprised. As surprised as if the moon wrote me a check for a million dollars.
You will excuse me if I don't hold my breath.
