Of course the states can stick with this filthy bloated out of control abusive debt ridden government and see how it works out.

It is time for this union to be dissolved because it isn't working out very well.

Dr Paul has it right.

Dr Paul is an idiot unfit to call himself an American.  I doubt that he's got the balls to fire the first shot at a 21st century Ft Sumter.

47?  There's 60 States in the United States?

And crack a history book.

Your "perpetual union" was dissolved the first time when 3/4 of those States adopted the United States constitution of 1787.   This eliminated the token national government of the confederation.

By the time the new government was formed, Rhode Island had still not ratified and was not a part of the United States of America.  It was only through pressure of a threat of embargo that they finally DID ratify the new Constitution.   They had previously voted on it and rejected it.

Prior to the ratification of the articles of confederation, they weren't even united in anything but common struggle against the British.

Abraham Lincoln pulled the doctrine of perpetual union out of his ass.

And the band played on while the ship sank.

 



So when terrorists and communists infiltrate and seize control of a government, succession from that would be just as bad or worse?  I'm not claiming we're being ruled by communists and terrorists (yet) but to deny that we're not tip toeing there is delusional.

So there is no scenario where you'd agree that secession is appropriate?

If only there were some document we could reference for a founders perspective on that. Something like...

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...


That would sound pretty good to me.

You can't be serious.   If it's civil war over a legitimately ratified amendment to dissolve the Union, that means the USA no longer exists and the Federal government is fighting to exist with no constitutional authorization, whatsoever.

Do you really not understand that?

What basis for existence do you think the USA has, if not the Constitution?
