Wrong on all counts. And being wrong can really screw you up, friend. The States are not mere subdivisions of the Federal Government. The Civil War was fought to preserve the Union of the Independent States. Certainly, not to subordinate them as vassals of the Federals. There’s a big difference.
It sure doesn't seem that way now does it? It wasn't that way then.
What the war was fought for, in your opinion , and what we have now are two different things.
If you think the states are not subordinate to the federal Government , it isnt I , who are wrong.
Did you actually read Sebelius’s statement the Feds will not allow Florida to opt out? Do you really bel;ieve they will let Florida opt out?
