Given that the United States Constitution nowhere prohibits secession, that phrase would indeed describe anyone who forcefully opposed the secession of the Southern States.

Ho hum.

It doesn't prohibit murder either. Secession is outside the law and all the bleating in the world won't change that.

More to the point, the Constitution nowhere 'delegates...nor prohibits' secession, and all of your "bleating" will never erase the troublesome Tenth Amendment...

By the way, shall we discuss the secession of the States that ratified the Constitution, from the so-called "perpetual union" formed under the Articles of Confederation? When ever the subject pops up, you seem to make yourself scarce...

Nor will Your bleating make it "outside the law", old man. Why don't you go back to the AOL board with McTee so you can sucker the newbies?
