To: Who is John Galt?

You and I both know that there is no constitutional clause prohibiting secession. Nor is there one sanctioning it. Therefore it’s a constitutional question to be adjudicated by the courts, and the court says there’s no right to secession as practiced by the south. And there it stands until the constitution is amended or the court overturns its earlier decision. Or you guys stop blustering and launch another rebellion with more successful results.

You Ain’t Galt would really like to, but his nurse won’t let him out after 4:00PM...

Wrong - again:

Amendment X

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.

(In other words, the Founders were quite literally telling you to kiss my @ss! ;>)
