Now, billbears, you southron types should be the last to criticize Supreme Court decisions.
We do know the facts, bill. There was no Massachussetts secession of '03 or Connecticut secession of '14 or anything else. Not a single state actually tried to carry out a threat to secede. Not a single indication that the federal government would have stood still for the actions. Presidents such as Jackson making it clear that individual states were not above the Constitution, regardless of how they felt.
LOL!! I know and the Essex Junto didn't exist either and Madison I believe wasn't the POTUS that named them possible enemies to the union. And Thomas Pickering didn't exist either. He was just a figment of Jefferson's imagination. No, they didn't exist at all. And the Hartford Convention was just a lodge meeting with the guys to voice their support for how well the government was handling the war with Britain < /sarcasm>
