And you've posted two of the very few examples of "proof" claiming secession is illegal. Both from the same man, and contrary to the fact he signed off on Virginia's ratification statement which says the exact opposite.

Do you know of any other proof?

Also, are you honest enough to admit I have more proof to the contrary than you do in favor?
