Obviously you believe in the *Union mysticism*, a general affection for the so-called Union. What about states rights afforded in the Constitution?

I believe states should have all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

The Constitution does not guarantee us our rights, it merely enumerates the ones we already possess. Our rights are an inalienable, integral component of our humanity, not a governmental construct dependent upon the whims of the legislature.

One of those rights is the right to establish a government that functions to protect personal liberty. This has been the case for centuries, repeated throughout history, as tyrannical and unjust leaders were overthrown by men who knew *instinctively* that they did not have to live under the heel of others.

Nullification is coming. The 10th Amendment has been invoked many times throughout history, but any number of states, over a vast array of issues.

Leaving the Union - that's a long way down the road.
