To: TheBigIf; Who is John Galt?
[TheBigIf]So you are just going to regurgitate the same old tired statement over and over.

[Who is John Galt?]but the Constitution nowhere prohibited State secession, and therefore there was no violation of constitutional law.

TheBigIf, the Gentleman has went to extreme lengths to show the error of your ways. He has done so with no thanks from you. There was a vote regarding State Secession, for your information. The date was March 2, 1861, and it was decided in the negative. Negative for you that is. The vote count was 28 nays to 18 yeas :

"Under this Constitution, as originally adopted and as it now exists, no State has power to withdraw from the jurisdiction of the United States; and this Constitution, and all laws passed in pursuance of its delegated powers, are the supreme law of the land, anything contained in any constitution, ordinance, or act of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."

No the gentleman has basically made one line statements of no substance at all. Most of what he says would be better fit for the Howard Stern show.

And your secession convention of traitors carrys no legal weight at all.
