Anyone who refers back to #1234 will see you for the charlatan you so clearly are.

But nullification?

In his letter to Daniel Webster, dated March 13, 1833, James Madison wrote:

"I return my thanks for the copy of your late very powerful speech in the Senate of the U. S. It crushes "nullification" and must hasten an abandonment of "Secession." But this dodges the blow by confounding the claim to secede at will, with the right of seceding from intolerable oppression. The former answers itself, being a violation without cause, of a faith solemnly pledged. The latter is another name only for revolution, about which there is no theoretic controversy."

My original statement is correct, and yours is a fabrication.

The framaers DEFINITELY declared on the permanence and supremacy of the Constitution. Not a single one can be quoted to support your position.

CSA apologists will tell any kind of lie.
