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.
Obviously, "... was, is, and will remain" was my editorialization. You have read Texas v White and know what it says. There is nothing inconsistant with my take on the ruling. You, however, have no reasonable basis to counter the argument, so you resort to your typical tactics. Of course, you are not recognized for your intellect here at FR, but rather your ability to bluster.
By the way, you still haven't answered my question to you. What was the birthdate of the United States of America? "Where is, repeat, where is nolu chan? The world wonders."
