General William Tecumseh Sherman shure knew how to fuck up the fucking
southern inbreeds.
He is a true American hero.
Robert E Lee and every scum bag who took up arms against the United
States should have been tried, and when found guilty, hung as
traitors.
Where in the Constitution of the United States does it prohibit a state
from withdrawing from the union?
Not that I think the slave owning fucks were right about slavery, but
that doesn't change the Constitution.
Where in the Constitution of the United States does it allow a state to
unilaterally withdraw from the union?
If it isn't prohibited, it is allowed.

Let's see if I have this healthcare thingy right. Congress is to pass
a plan written by a committee whose head has said he doesn't understand
it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who
hasn't read it, with funding administered by a Treasury chief who didn't
pay his taxes because he didn't understand TurboTax, overseen by an obese
Surgeon General and financed by a country that's nearly broke.
What could possibly go wrong?
Wrong, of course. The Supreme Court has ruled otherwise. Look up Texas
v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1869) and get back to us.
Hint: look for this part:
6. When Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an
indissoluble relation. The union between Texas and the other States was
as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the
original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation,
except through revolution or through consent of the States.
7. Considered as transactions under the Constitution, the ordinance of
secession, adopted by the convention, and ratified by a majority of the
citizens of Texas, and all the acts of her legislature intended to
giveeffect to that ordinance, were absolutely null. They were utterly
without operation in law. The State did not cease to be a State, nor her
citizens to be citizens of the Union.
Um, if it doesn't SPECIFICALLY prohibit it, there is a little clause
stating that all un-enumerated powers are to be retained by the people
or the respective States.
Also, see the 9th Amendment.
Even by the example given revolution was listed as a valid method of
withdrawal, therefore, the Confederates were within their right to rebel
and not acting traitorous.
I SPECIFICALLY said, where in the CONSTITUTION does it allow a state to
withdraw from the union. The Constititution details the procedures for
entering the union, but is silent about a state withdrawing from it.

Like I said, not that the end result wasn't a 'good' thing, the method
was a bit dodgey.
The Supreme Court disagrees with you.

indissoluble relation. The union between Texas and the other States
was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union
between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration
or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the

The U. S. Constitution is a document outlining restrictions on the fascist
State, it does not enumerate all acts that are permitted and not permitted.
The State of Texas is the only State in the Union which is legally entitled
to leave the Union, the charters of each State's admission in to the Union
preclude leaving once they're in, only Texas retained that right.

The reason why the SC attempted to enact that illegal ruling was because
Texas *does* retain the right to leave the Union, a right that no other
State retained. Texas was a special case because it was admitted in to
the Union lacking a dictate of non-reniging, ergo the SC was asked to make
a ruling even though the SC judged wrongly.

That's got nothing to do with US citizens taking up arms against the
government. Try to keep it on topic, Sparky.
Hey..keep it on topic. We're not talking about states rights, we're
talking about US citizens who took up arms against the government.
You're trying to change the topic because you know I'm right.
Jackass.
Apparently, you inbred baboon, you fail to grasp the beauty of the
Constitution. It is a limitation on the power of the federal government. If
it is not specifically allowed to the federal government in the Constitution
it remeains for the states and people to decide what they want.
Get it, baboon?

And several states agreed with you. They were South Carolina,
Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Geordia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, North
Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee.
"A 2008 Zogby International poll revealed that 22% of Americans believe
that "any state or region has the right to peaceably secede and become an
independent republic."[29][30]
The United States Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700
(1869), that while the union was "perpetual" and that secession
ordinances were "absolutely null," membership nevertheless could be
revoked "through revolution, or through consent of the States."[31][32]

Read the whole case. The Supremes also said:

And still WERE when they took up arms. The US never recognized the
states leaving which means they were still US citizens.

That wasn't my post dumbass. Learn how to post.
And it would take a 2/3 majority. Wouldn't have happened. And it
DIDN'T happen. The states were wrong. Period. They had no right what
so ever.
Per Texas v White, yes, they did. Or don't you think that the Civil War
was a revolution by the southern slave states?
Hell, if I was a citizen of Albania and defected to the US, do you think
I would still be considered a citizen of Albania if some bureacrat there
didn't recognize that I had left?
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor

I wonder if Lookout is as stupid as he pretends to be? He is clearly
ignorant, can stupidity be far behind?
Sometimes he shows that he thinks things through. Not often, I admit, as
he lean too much on pure vitriol rather than honest discussion. For that
reason, he keeps bouncing in and out of my Bozo Bin. At least he seems
to be smarter than TMT. ;)
And still waiting.
Each every AMERICAN who took up arms against the United States of
America during the Civil War should have been hanged. Period.
(and the would have limited the dumbass rednecks we have running
around now)
I guess you know when you got your ass kicked, huh?
Through consent of the STATES. That's ALL the states and not just the
ones that want to secede.
Dumbass.
We're not talking about Albania.
And that's been proven null and void repeatedly. For instance look at
the drug laws....until Obama came into office federal drug laws were
in effect even in states like California where different laws were
voted on and passed by the legislature.
And I just proved him wrong.
You? You're just a run of the mill idiot.
Yet I've corrected you many times. How is that?
All that attempting that would have done is GUARANTEE that all
Southerners would have fought on as an Iraq-style leaderless-
resistance insurgency - because they'd have had no other chance at
survival.
And - as in Iraq - leaderless resistance would have proven far beyond
the regime's ability to suppress.

Excuse me but where was Massachusetts vote on that secession? They did
secede....there was no vote by the northern states.

Because the federal government has been overstepping its bounds on the
Commerce Clause. The first time they ever got called on it was in Lopez
v US, 000 US U10287 - 1995....a case about gun possession in a school
zone. Additionally, take a look at the federal government's abuses under
RICO.
That is pure overstepping and not being called on it. It is not because
the 10A is null and void. It is still in effect and will be until
changed or removed under Article V.
No, you didn't. You only claimed that, so far, it hasn't been used much
in cases against federal law. The 10A is still there and still carries
its weight.
Because you believe your own bullshit and don't pay any attention to the
truth. It's all in your mind, not in fact.
And legally there MUST be. You completely missed my point.

Read better
But NOT of a foreigner. Apples and oranges.
You're way off on this one.
It's null and void for all intents and purposes.
None at all.
Because you believe your own bullshit.
There..do you feel better now?
Not before Texas v White and even in that case the USSC stated that "
membership nevertheless could be revoked "through revolution, or through
consent of the States."

In law I'm right.
Or correct me if you can.
But you can't, can you? It was only the good will of the US Government
that stopped it.

Keep trying. But this time be more careful. ALL the states...not just
Wrong. Albanians aren't US citizens so it can't be treason or traitor.
Apples and oranges.

Sure do.
Now start reading better.
There would be a lot less Democrats.
The dems in 1860 are not the same dems as today.

So, why don't you explain the Constitutionality of shooting the people
that took up arms against their government.
Be concise and make sure you stick to the letter of the Constitution of
the United States.
I will bet you think that is some kind of slight.
I had a great time with the wife, son, daughter, and the dog.
I didn't spend one millisecond worrying about what you might think of
it.
It's a quote from the case, Lookout. If I added those words it no longer

If you wish to change the case cite to what you want it to say, then do
so. I won't and still put quotes around it.

Let's see if I have this healthcare thingy right. Congress is to pass
a plan written by a committee whose head has said he doesn't understand
it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it or allowed bipartisan input,
signed by a president who hasn't read it or provided the public with the
C-Span overview of the plan or the process, with funding administered by
a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes because he didn't understand
TurboTax, overseen by an obese Surgeon General and financed by a country
that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?

So, where in the Constitution of the United States does it give the
President the authority to suspend the writ of habeas corpus.
I think you somehow confuse what was done with what was ACTUALLY
Constitutional.
With Congress not in session until July, Lincoln assumed all powers not
delegated in the Constitution, including the power to suspend habeas
corpus. In 1861, Lincoln had already suspended civil law in territories
where resistance to the North's military power would be dangerous. In
1862, when copperhead democrats began criticizing Lincoln's violation of
the Constitution, Lincoln suspended habeas corpus throughout the nation
and had many copperhead democrats arrested under military authority
because he felt that the State Courts in the north west would not
convict war protesters such as the copperheads. He proclaimed that all
persons who discouraged enlistments or engaged in disloyal practices
would come under Martial Law.
Among the 13,000 people arrested under martial law was a Maryland
Secessionist, John Merryman. Immediately, Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States issued a writ of
habeas corpus commanding the military to bring Merryman before him. The
military refused to follow the writ. Justice Taney, in Ex parte
MERRYMAN, then ruled the suspension of habeas corpus unconstitutional
because the writ could not be suspended without an Act of Congress.
President Lincoln and the military ignored Justice Taney's ruling.
Finally, in 1866, after the war, the Supreme Court officially restored
habeas corpus in Ex-parte Milligan, ruling that military trials in areas
where the civil courts were capable of functioning were illegal.
Except for John Edwards.

Depends on the argument. Some things are the powers of the states and
should be.

It was war.
All because some rednecks wanted slaves to do their work for them.
Silly, huh?

Notice how he's sliding away from the traitor discussion.
He know's he's wrong.
It's understood to be all the states.
