the FACTS "do not favor your position" Mr. Minister!

The FACTS show that in 1869 Chief Justice Chase said, "Considered as transactions under the Constitution, the ordinance of secession, adopted by the convention, and ratified by a majority of the citizens of Texas, and all the acts of her legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance, were absolutely null. They were utterly without operation in law. The State did not cease to be a State, nor her citizens to be citizens of the Union." How could he believe that and not believe secession was treason?
