If that is true then why did Chief Justice Chase vote that unilateral secession as practiced by the southern states was unconstitutional in Texas v. White in 1869? Did he change his mind?Judging by his previous quote, I would have to say yes.

Judging by his previous quote, I would have to say yes. Or could it be that Chase was misquoted or the quote attributed to him in error?
