[Non-Sequitur]

Virginia declared their own independence two months earlier than the joint resolution. This was in May. So, they were in fact Independent and still are today, despite your hero's deeds or yours today.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Furthermore, the States delegated they never surrendered certain limited enumerated powers to their agent, the General Government. The States and their people retained unlimited authority that Sovereignty provides . It goes without saying that being able to reform, or abolish or start anew would be some, but not all of the powers reserved.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Lost Cause imagination knows no bounds.

As I observed previously:

[N-S is] also an historical revisionist, as is obvious from his latest foray into the ozone (Post #884), and earlier trips as well (Post #659, etc.). When he's caught at it, he generally just refuses to respond. Apparently acknowledging reality is hazardous to his world view...

Thanks for proving my point (in Posts #892 & #895) yet again!

Come on, sport: just admit it! You're an historical revisionist - or else you're simply ignorant, or just a common liar...
