It's my understanding that the Constitution doesn't mention secession.

But in 1869 in Texas v. White Congress ruled the Confederacy had acted unconstitutionally.

“But in 1869 in Texas v. White Congress ruled the Confederacy had acted unconstitutionally.”

Victor’s justice: a distorted application of justice to the defeated party by the victorious party after an armed conflict.

Why do you say “Congress ruled” ? It was a US Supreme Court ruling.

But thanks for pointing to it. Its words echo Lincoln’s last speech’s casuistry and ignore that Texas joined as an independent sovereign nation.

And the Federal courts are keeping the J6rs in prison.

Court declarations are meaningless in terms of truth, and only matter because they have power, not because they are correct.
