Elenchus for 4CJ. The States were the People, and the People by sovereign acts not ordinances, seceded. Their actions were the lawful exercise of the rights that they enjoyed unimpaired by the Constitution, as noticed by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, the Supremacy Clause notwithstanding.
Well argued, sir. Congratulations. The juleps await us -- today we are on the lawn, in the shade of the mossy oak behind the pavilion, and the ladies have preceded us.
Straight out of "1984", just like the rest of the neo-reb rant.

Wouldn't the -People- have to pass a -single- ordinance?
There is only sovereign of the United States and that is the people of the -whole- United States.
We are constantly bombarded with this nit-picky unreasonable/belittle the framers neo-reb rant.
Where is similar verbiage from the actual participants?
By the way, YOU can pass soevereign acts too. If you can back them up with force -- which the so-called CSA could not.

Don't forget to bring the children, they can have a grand ol' time swimming in the creek. We'll fire up the grill as well - bring your appetite!
