Armed action by regular soldiers of the United States Government acting under proper authority against those who take up arms in violence against the Constitution and the rule of law.

We are a republic of sovereign states. It is the responsibilities of the citizens of each State to defend their own state's Constitution and government, and I wouldn't count on the federal government coming to the aid of say, Arizona in the event that these "reconquistas" staged an armed revolt there. Maybe that sounds harsh, but it appears to be the political reality we face right now.

No we are not, that was settled at the Second Constitutional Convention held at Gettysburg on July 1-3, 1863. The Motion by Mr. Pickett in support of human slavery, the basis of which the entire convention was gathered, was voted down overwhelmingly.

I am an American. I am a resident of the state I live in. And so are you.

You mindlessly advocate a view of the Constitution that is not in keeping with reality, sir.
