No state has ever been out of the Union once it came in.

Sure it has, just as I explained it to you. You don't like it, sue me.

You like that "suitors of Penelope" stuff, don't you, Walt? The story about how Odysseus came home, locked the doors, and killed everyone in the room? That your theory of the Union, Walt? Once they're in, I can do with them as I please? That was Hamilton's idea. Suck 'em in, chew 'em up, take all their money and send them home to their mamas. He was from New York, and that's how they wanted it.

So what is your theory of the "government that governs best", Wlat? How about wings off flies? Maximum misery for the maximum number of people? Is 600,000 dead not enough for you?

Odysseus was "the ever-patient man."

Look at it this way. The rebel states were doing to the Constitution what they planned for the faithful Penelope.
