Interesting. So a SCOTUS ruling is going to matter when the people of this state decide to leave the union? You really think we care?

Saying we can’t secede because of a SCOTUS ruling is like saying we can’t nullify overreaching federal laws.

I read the column to say that nullification is proscribed...that seccession would be required in order to ignore the federal government mandates.

That’s why I get such a kick out of it. People don’t seem to realize that overreach and unwillingness to protect the Constitution, by SCOTUS, is EXACTLY why we’re getting closer to leaving.

It’s like being abducted getting yourself loose in the bedroom, and instead of going out the window, you go into the living room and ask your abductor if it’s ok to leave - and if he says no, you ask him to tie you up again. Go figure.

You have to understand these are the same people who think we can stop gun crime by making it illegal! They actually seem to think they can adjust reality by dictat.
