Then the answer is no. Montana was admitted to the union with the vote of the majority of states. It can't leave with only a few. It's options are to accept the decision of the court, as they agreed when they asked to be admitted to the union, to gather support for a constitutional amendment that would negate the court's decision, to find more support in congress for their departure from the union, or rebellion.
That is the difference between us
I'd say the Federal Government and it's Court have violated the “compact”! When they entered the Union they did so with the understanding
To quote
“The state was admitted to the union in 1889 under President Benjamin Harrison and he approved the state constitution proposal including the right to bear arms, the officials said.
Any other determination, they said, would “offend” the Compact, officials said.
“[That] language
simply cannot be respun to somehow mean a right of state government,” they said.”
Bubba,
With the Understanding that the Constitution would be followed>
“It's options are to accept the decision of the court, as they agreed when they asked to be admitted to the union, to gather support for a constitutional amendment that would negate the court's decision, to find more support in congress for their departure from the union, or rebellion.”
They never agreed to this “living document” liberal nonsense! I would pick rebellion and send an invite to You and N-S. Montana may not have a Standing Army but you'd be amazed what a few Rednecks with Squirrel guns can do!
