We didn’t have the right to leave the British Empire either, according to King George. Yet here we are. Ponder that for a moment.

“We didn’t have the right to leave the British Empire either, according to King George. Yet here we are. Ponder that for a moment.”

Absolutely right.

When the existing government abuses and usurps, trending toward despotism, it’s time to break away. Or so says the U.S. declaration of independence.

I have the greatest respect for Scalia, and perhaps his was meant to be a more limited response than indicated in this report, but on its face his statement is incorrect.

do not forget that those back in that time were called traitors by the majority because they dared to stand against a Govt who was taking advantage of them.
