@conallo He opposed it. He was wrong.
I don’t care what anyone “thought” or “thinks” about it. I care what the constitution says about it. The constitution is silent on secession, therefore, the 10th Amendment applies and it is a State decision.
“I appeal” says President Lincoln, “to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our national Union.”
The Confederate States refused thus "to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of a national Union." They not only refused to aid, but they took up arms to defeat the consummation of such a monstrous usurpation of popular rights and popular sovereignty. It was evident that, if no efforts for a rescue were made, the time would soon come when the rights of all the States might be denied, and the hope of mankind in constitutional freedom be for ever lost. This was the usurpation. This lay at the foundation of the war. Every subsequent act of the Government was another step in the same direction, all tending palpably to supremacy for the Government of the United States, the subjugation of the States, and the submission of the people.

@jjfThompson Where does it say anywhere in the Constitution that states have the right to secede. We have the right speech, petition, worship, guns, even due process. But no right to secede
A woman refused to give up her window seat she paid for to a child. The family filmed and harassed her, posted it online, and the backlash led to her losing her shop.
@jjauthor Wow that’s stupid and wrong on many levels. 1) We never owned Iran, it was never a part of our country. Therefore we could never give it to anyone. 2) Zero evidence of any POTUS giving nukes to Iran. Iran doesn’t have nukes.
If you have evidence show it.
@jjfThompson Of course there were 3 who dissented. You know very few cases all justices find 100% agreement.
I told you earlier the was no Constitutional provision for secession one way or the other.
Here’s a question, what was Andrew Jackson’s opinion about secession?
I asked you a rhetorical question. I’m quite familiar with the case and have studied it extensively. I’ll answer it for you. There is no constitutional evidence to support it. Chase basically used the “more perfect Union” argument, which makes no sense.
What choice did they have? There is no way they were going to undo what the war supposedly settled. Chase simply asserted a “perpetual and indissoluble Union” without producing any legal justification or documented support.
By the way, Chase had presidential aspirations and there was extreme pressure on the justices to tune in favor of the victor.
What’s astounding is that there were 3 dissents, knowing how monumental this diversion could be.
@jjfThompson I would have to post the entire Texas v White transcripts. Not enough space here. Plus you do realize that that is LITERALLY SCOTUS’ job….to determine constitutionality.
@jjfThompson Actually no. The reasons do not outweigh any perceived right. There is no Constitutional provision or amendments that specifically bans or allows it, but the SCOTUS 1869 did call secession unconstitutional.
@jjfThompson The 1860 was a highly sectional election on both sides, but it was still a legitimate election. Lincoln won, and the South simply didn’t like it so they wanted to take their ball and go home. Did they fell threatened? Doesn’t matter. They had their chance and lost
@conallo They weren’t wrong at all. Lincoln was elected as a purely sectional president who was a threat to southern interests. They seceded because they felt threatened.
@DominikTemny@GigaBasedDad You’re kinda getting the point. There is no “better” food, and the term “super food” is just dangerous. Humans are omnivores. Are bodies are designed to eat a variety of food.
@conallo@GigaBasedDad Why should i get protein from grain, when it is great source of high in complex carbohydrates... and protein i can get from fishes?
@GigaBasedDad Protestant is not a denomination, but rather an umbrella term for a collection of denominations. 1) Either you didn’t know this or 2) You belong to a Protestant denomination and are trying to make your self more important
@AmericanaMama_ Stupid meme. 1) Don’t go looking for a fight, but defend yourself when a fight comes looking for you. 2) Fake a$$ picture, fake a$$sign and they are no where near a school, just some broke down retail store with nothing on the pegs.
