I still think it matters; especially given the recent spur in constitutional discussions on FR threads around viable options for restoring our republic in the wake of two SCOTUS rulings.Are you suggesting that Secession is, or could be, a “viable options for restoring our republic”?

Stainless borrowed it.

Restoring the Republic is within our means and need not include secession, IMO. I believe our brothers on FR have pointed to the Free State Project as an alternative. The Founders, New Englanders, Westerners, Southerners, and even Lincoln recognized the right of secession. There are many written and spoken examples in America's history.
However, please don't confuse "viable option" with a hasty call for secession.

Secession is still my dream!
