You DO know that the Constitution is the law of the land, right? Not Tucker?

You do know that Tucker's View was written and published for the SOLE PURPOSE of explaining the Constitution to the People...don't you?

You do know that Tucker's annotated version of Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England are STILL required reading in law schools today, don't you?

And nowhere in the Constitution is there anything about a state seceding from the Union.

Um....that's why it's called the "rule of exclusion". If it's not INCLUDED, it's EXCLUDED.

Secession isn't INCLUDED in the Constitution, so it is EXCLUDED from the authority of the federal government.

What SC did was extralegal

LOL! Extralegal?

Well, since your sole say-so seems to trump decades of findings and opinions from no less than 4 acknowledged legal and judicial authorities......

I guess denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Have a nice day.

“You do know that Tucker’s View was written and published for the SOLE PURPOSE of explaining the Constitution to the People...don’t you?”

You do know that means absolutely nothing, right? The Constitution trumps Tucker.

“Secession isn’t INCLUDED in the Constitution, so it is EXCLUDED from the authority of the federal government.”

Nonsense. There is no escape clause for a state to ignore one or all of it’s federal obligations. If you can’t arbitrarily ignore one you can’t just chuck the whole thing. Not legally.

“LOL! Extralegal?”

Yes! lol! Extralegal as in it’s not sanctioned by law.

“Well, since your sole say-so seems to trump decades of findings and opinions from no less than 4 acknowledged legal and judicial authorities......”

It’s not my *sole say-so*; it’s the opinion of almost every legal authority since the Civil War.

“I guess denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.”

True. There are still idiots around who wish that slavery were still legal and that the South had won. Talk about denial!

Some bad news for you- white sheets are scarcer since the recession. You’ll have to make do with what you already have.
