To: Who is John Galt?
Care to cite any of his public writings? Of course not. You wouldn't want to quote anything the gentleman said in public.

I'll be glad to quote his writings.

You can find it in The Federalist Papers. I've quoted the passage to you before. Apparently you have a short memory...

Can you quote the passage from the Federalist Papers where Madison clearly states that unilateral secession is allowed? Or where he outlines the process for secession at all?

WIJG: Care to cite any of [James Madison's] public writings? Of course not. You wouldn't want to quote anything the gentleman said in public.

N-S: I'll be glad to quote his writings.

None of those "writings" were addressed to the People of the States (that he 'sold' the new Constitution to), or to the American public in general, of course...

Allow me to refresh your memory:

WSJG: As you correctly note, Mr. Madison may well have been "the man who, more than any other single individual, was responsible for creating the document in the first place." And when he was selling "the document" to the American people, prior to ratification, he noted, in writing, in public, that the States would be justified in using military force (State militia) to oppose the new federal government by force, if the States thought it appropriate to oppose unconstitutional federal actions in that manner.
