If by that you mean the 13th, 14th & 15th amendments, then obviously, guilty as charged.

I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That " all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people." [Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1791 letter]

That Constitution.

You mean the Constitution that the Supreme Court determined secession from was un-Constitutional in 1869.

Right, so does that mean you support or oppose the 13th, 14th & 15th amendments?
Because when you're talking about "Lincoln's tyranny" which somehow "destroyed the Constitution", that's what you mean, right?

You wish to see those amendments abolished, right?
