And you said it yourself. Seven states passed legal legislation that codified secession, not rebellion.

That's not what I said, black knight.

You said rebellion, I said secession. Same coin, different opinions. Now answer my question, the state of Pennsylvania could be considered in rebellion during the time of Washington's use of force, yet habeas corpus was not suspended. Why? Surely that would have been seen at the time as a major issue, but yet he did not overstep his bounds. I'll go you one better. The Essex Junto. You know, Cabot, Pickering, and the boys. They not only had thoughts of rebellion but started down that road with the Hartford Convention, yet they were not only arrested, this document is seen as a milestone in the history of these United States. This was also done during war time and against the wishes of the federal government.

Now answer my question or else I will lob the Holy Hand Grenade at Antioch at you!!
