[Who is John Galt?]

Walt, John Galt did misquote the X Amendment (albeit not in a material way), but I think it is probably reckless to draw from this the conclusion that he is a "hate-filled shill for slavers."

Actually, if one were to refer to the original post, one would note that I was not 'quoting' the amendment. I am quite careful about such things. Once again (and as usual), Walt got it wrong...

Under the terms of the 10th Amendment, powers not delegated or prohibited by the Constitution are reserved to the States or the people of the States - and the Constitution nowhere delegates or prohibits secession. 'So: there. No legal foundation to oppose secession. End of story.' As Harvard history professor William Gienapp recently noted, "the proponents of secession had a strong constitutional argument, probably a stronger argument than the nationalists advanced"...;>)

Don't try and weasel out.

You are, of course, correct. I seem to have remembered a paraphrase of the X Amendment somewhere along the line. I apologize for the mis-characterization.

By the way, I enjoy your posts immensely. Keep up the good work.

Respectfully,
