You've gone all puzzleheaded on us again, haven't you?
Unilateral secession was a viable method on December 20, 1860 when the Great State of South Carolina unilaterally seceded.
So the South thought. Turns out they were wrong.
Chase's 'opinion' didn't occur until 4 years after the end of the war, 9 years after the Great State of South Carolina unilaterally seceded...
Were you not aware that ALL court decisions take place after the fact?
... and, of course, Chase was just a leetle bit biased being one of disHonest Abe's main boot lickers.
So does that mean you're going to stop leaning on post-rebellion revisionist writings of the rebel leaders? On the grounds that they, too, might be just a leeetle bit biased?
Kinda like you, turd breath.
Acting all adult on us again, I see?
Revisionist history and stacked, politically biased courts do not make a wrong a right. The South Was Right, you boneheaded liar.
Were you not aware that ALL court decisions take place after the fact?
Were you not aware that ex post facto law is generally seen as a violation of the rule of law and, per Article I, section 9 of the U.S. Constitution, the federal government is prohibited from passing ex post facto laws?
What this means is that boot licker Chase could make all the opinions that he wanted to 1 day or 10 years after the fact but he, nor you, nor anybody else in the US can make an act retroactively illegal.
You can distort the facts with your revisionism and northron mythology but you'll never change the facts.
Acting all adult on us again, I see?
What ever are you talking about, smegma face?
