But I've said before and I'll say again, that if your state, in convention assembled, petitions congress to be released from the union, and an equitable arrangement regarding federal property, debt, etc, can be reached, I'll be more than happy to tell my representatives to vote to let you go. If, on the other hand, you do what you did last time, simply announcing your self gone, seizing federal property and opening fire when it's not handed over to you on your demand, then we're going to have a problem. But you and I know that that's never going to happen, because for all your yapping, you neo-secesstionists are a miniscule number of folks who have virtually no popular support, much less a majority in any state.
If you knew history secession starts quickly and spreads like wildfire. It goes from nowhere to bye-bye real quick. Right now, seems like a fantasy. It hasn't got ugly enough, yet.
So, if a state has been paying taxes for 200 years, hasn't the bill been paid for the property? I say yes.
< hypothetically > Do you really think an agreement between all 50 states and their legislatures that would let a state(s) have their sovereignty would be recognized by the President and Congress? You have been smoking something then...< /hypothetically >
