Painted yourself into a corner...

BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So I take it that you are OK with keeping the land west of the mississippi...even though you feel it’s purchase was unconstitutional...

Which of course means you are a hypocrite.

Good grief! I surrender to your vastly superior dialectic skills.

Now, do yourself a favor and buy a history book.

Not all of them; to wit Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada & California were “spoils of war”* from Mexico.

* Not exactly, Mexico sold them to us in order to appease us so that we wouldn’t invade, conquer, and eradicate them as-a-nation. IIRC, we occupied Mexico City for a time.
