To: Non-Sequitur
Quite frequently in Civil War threads some U.S. supporter will make the claim that the Southern actions were illegal because Article I, Section 10 says that states cannot enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation. The response from the Lost Causers is always that Article I, Section 10 did not apply because the seceding states were no longer in the Union and not under the Constitution. And that same argument invalidates your position as well. If a state is expelled then it is not under the Constitution. As a result, it has no Article V guarantees and it is not entitled to representation. So what prevents a state from being expelled against its will?

And yet another non sequitur, in an endless stream of non sequiturs, from Non-Sequitur...

To: Who is John Galt?

But nothing, I notice, from the great and wise Galt to show where I'm wrong. A legend in his own mind and little else.

Oh, and I deleted your message without reading it. If you want to take shots at me tehn be man enough to do it on the open form instead of by private Freepmail.
