A state government that rebelled against the United States Government was no longer illegitimate, no matter how many traitors thought otherwise.

So you don't believe in the Declaration of Indendence. Further discussion is pretty pointless.

I just caught the double negative, which makes that even funnier...

Chew on this scenario. The U.S. has joined the U.N. The other 'equal' members of the U.N. form a majority and decide to impose and enforce legislation the U.S. feels violate the spirit, if not the letter, of the original charter. They seek to withdraw from the political structure of the U.N. and maintain their own laws, by their duly and locally elected representatives. Your political theory holds them forever to the U.N. Permits the U.N. to invade and conquer them (or whatever you want to call it when troops march into other terrority and burn down cities and impose their authority by force of arms), and determine precisely how much sovereignty they may have to write their laws. We're all 'U.N. people', right...
