More mind-control from Illbay, who can't seem to figure out history to save his life. God forbid that we champion the state's right to leave the Union, which is actually a state's right since it is sovereign. If that marks me a traitor, then I am on the same side of history as Patrick Henry. Life can't be all that bad.

States have no right to leave the Union.

That's now been settled.

In particular, you have no right to commit acts of treason against the government because you don't like the outcome of the election.

Or do you support the Democrats and their Leftie buddies who've done nothing but scream and yell about Bush since November 2000?

Or is it (as is more likely) simply that when you like something, it's legal, and when you don't it's not?

Geez, I always feel like I'm arguing with a bunch of teenage boys on these threads.

Illbay has been here long enough to know that this is what the Democrat Party is actually trying to implement by blocking Bush's federal judicial appointees. All you need is about 2000 black-robed clowns ruling that whatever the Dems like is legal, and whatever the Dems don't like is "illegal" and "unconstitutional". The Supreme Court's ruling on the Dred Scott case is still in the law books, I would wager. Does that make it "legal"? ;-)

We've already seen that Bill Clinton liked perjuring himself, and last time I checked, he wasn't prosecuted for it.

The North had the moral right to suppress forcibly the institution of slavery in the South, regardless of the right of secession. You keep other men as slaves, you lose your claims to sovereignity.
