There was no rebellion.

Yes there was.

Louisiana seceded, Louisiana didn't "rebel" because a) Louisiana was, and is, sovereign, and b) Louisiana made their own decisions to join, and to leave, the Union. People don't "rebel" against the People. Ergo, there was no rebellion.

But c) since their acts of secession were found to be illegal by the Supreme Court then their actions were a rebellion. Or insurrection, take your pick.

Louisiana's decision was taken a pay grade above the Union and the Constitution -- it was taken at the People level. Only God gets over that.

Of course it was.

King George said the same thing, so I guess you support giving this great nation back to United Kingdom. Your racist bigotry is once again showing.

Bogus decision subject to review and overturning by the first honest court to review it.

Political hacks handing down political screeds as SCOTUS opinions? How many times do we have to condemn Roe before it sinks in with you, that SCOTUS isn't God?
