My opinion in this case has more of a legal and Constitutional basis than the opinion of Justice Chase. I can cite the Constitution and Federal law to back up mine, he couldn't, and neither can you.
Your opinion and a buck will get you a soft drink in most towns. Your opinion alone will get you squat, which is a fair approximation of it's value. Just because you believe your opinion to be the only correct one doesn't mean that the rest of us will roll over and follow you blindly. But I'm sorry, I've seen your arguement and I'm not impressed. I've stated my opinion and the fact that you think I'm wrong doesn't bother me at all. I still believe that unilateral secession is not allowed, the Supreme Court believed that unilateral secession, and I believe that Jefferson and Madison did as well. You may believe I'm totally wrong, well, I'll just have to learn to live with that.
