"According to CapnR, Salmon P. Chase not only rendered an opinion, he said it cannot be challenged and will remain the law for all time to come."

Another Nolu Chan misrepresentation and mischaracterization. I never said, "... it cannot be challenged and will remain the law for all time to come." I speculated that Texas v White, on the issue of secession, will never be revisited and over-turned.

But hey, if you are an aggrieved citizen you have the right to petition Congress. You have the right to bring suit. I'd like to see you put your money, time, and effort where your mouth is and rectify this alleged wrong! (This ought to be good - progress reports, please.)

[CapnR] I speculated that Texas v White, on the issue of secession, will never be revisited and over-turned.

CapnR NOW says that CapnR speculated. Did CapnR speculate, or did he say Chief Justice Chase ruled?

REALITY CHECK:

[CapnR to Gianni #1426] Chief Justice Chase did not alter one word of the Constitution. He ruled that the original intent of the framers was that the Union was paramount and that unilateral secession was, is, and will remain illegal.
