[Who is John Galt?]

Your post is once again completely irrelevant, according to YOUR OWN standards. (In other words, "you're still firing blanks, pal.") Post some historical documentation that meets your own SPECIFIC requirement, that the phrases "unilateral secession" or "unapproved withdrawal from the Union" be included. Otherwise, "you're just jabbering for the sake of it."

"Face it, you have no real ammunition" - AND you're a complete hypocrite.

You lost this "debate" long ago. Now you're not even firing "blanks," now you're trying to re-fire spent cartridges of blanks, and yelling "Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaw!" all the louder.

""Article I, section 10, clause 1 of the Constitution provides that “No State shall … pass any Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts.” " "

Would not even "John Galt" agree that "unilateral secession" and "unapproved withdrawal from the Union" equate to "imparing the Obligation of Contract" -- of the US Constitution?
