LOL! If your definition of “died and [sic] embarassing death” were true, Adolf Hitler would still be walking the streets of Berlin – 60 years after the end of the war. You really are a comedian!
The silence which enveloped the treasonous Resolutions after there cowardly anonymous proclamation amply shows the lack of agreement with their destructive tendency.
“Treasonous?” So now you’re calling James Madison and Thomas Jefferson “treasonous?” You really have lost it. As for “lack of agreement:” perhaps you can tell us who was elected President of the United States of America after the publication of the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions? Hmm? Was it – one of the authors?
;>)
Quotations from those who would have the Union destroyed only shows the Spirit of the Eternal RAT lives on.
Oh, you betcha! I quote the official documents of the States of Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – and you start (actually, ‘resume’ ;>) foaming at the mouth about “those who would have the Union destroyed!” Gosh – I thought Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin fought for the union. Am I wrong, or are you just spewing bull crap - again?
And make no mistake about it these subversives were virtually 100% democRATs.
ROTFLMAO! Oh, sure, Wisconsin in 1859 was “virtually 100% democRATs!” What are you – an idiot? We’re talking Northern States! Haven't you ever heard of the Iron Brigade?
;>)
No, there was no real dispute until Marshall's rulings started to stick in Jefferson's craw.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the following in 1798:
”Resolved_, That the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a General Government for special purposes, -- delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force; that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral party, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party: that the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each [State as a] party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.”
Thomas Jefferson, Kentucky Resolutions, 1798
You claim there was “no real dispute until Marshall’s rulings [after 1801]” - does that mean everyone agreed with Mr. Jefferson’s point of view, until Mr. Justice Marshall embarked upon his activist judicial career, and began promoting his revisionist theories? Hmm?
;>)
As early as 1792 the Court ruled on the constitutionality of federal law and state and local courts had ruled as early as Rutgers vs Weddington against a State law for violation of the state constitution. Judicial review was not concocted out of thin air by Marshall but was an accepted fact of life.
Another ‘straw man’ argument from queenhillaryscourtjester! No one has suggested that the federal courts did not possess the right of “judicial review.” Historical documentation proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, however, that such “review” was not considered to be either ‘exclusive’ or ‘final.’ According to James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and others, the States retained the right to determine, “in the last resort,” what was constitutional.
(Of course, “historical documentation” tends to contradict your wild-@ss opinions... which is no doubt why you refer to Thomas Jefferson as “scum,” and James Madison as a ‘traitor’...;>)
I have no idea what the hell you think is hard to understand about this. Your babbling is unusual incoherent in this regard with as little significance as the VaKy resolutions. Va/Ky's "claims" are of no more relevence than a claim by me that you know what the hell you are talking about.
LOL! There is nothing that “is hard to understand about this.” You are obviously wrong – something I have proved (repeatedly ;>) by quoting documented, historical FACT. Your only defense is to claim that the author of the Declaration of Independence was “scum,” and that the same man AND one of the individuals most responsible for our Constitution were “treasonous.” (Keep it up - you are certainly entertaining! ;>)
You’re a complete loser – if I had to bet, I would wager you’re an under-age, orange-top deaniac from DU, just trying to stir things up at FR. In my part of the country (the ‘Red Zone,’ AKA “flyover country” ;>), they have a saying that describes you perfectly:
“BIG HAT, NO CATTLE”
