“It will be found in Black:s Reports, vol. 2, page 667, &c. In that decision Justice Grier says:
“They claim to be in arms to establish their liberty and independence, in order to become a sovereign State, while the sovereign party treats them as insurgents and rebels, who owe allegiance, and who should be punished with death for their treason.”
That he states to be their status. Then he goes on to quote Vattel:
<” A civil war,7 says Vattel, ‘breaks the bands of society and government, or at least suspends their force and effect; it produces in the nation two independent parties, who consider each other as enemies, and acknowledge no common judge. These two parties therefore, must necessarily be considered as constituting, at least for a time, two separate bodies, two distinct societies.”

Time for another Troll Tax. “Vattel an obscure writer.”(jamese777)
We know your agenda. Prop up an illegal Obama and discredit Vattel because of natural born citizen and born to a citizen father stated in Vattels Law of Nations.
Time for another Troll Tax. “Vattel an obscure writer.”(jamese777)
If Bammy can sideline the “CREATOR” (in the declaration of independence)it follows that Jamese can call “Vattel an obscure writer.”
It’s only “logical” you know. :)
