I love people attempt to use 'whom' to sound more educated- and then use it incorrectly. It highlights how uneducated they truly are.

About the legal nicities regarding states legal right to leave the union I tend to agree.
RIGHTS is one of those words we banter around like it really has meaning.
It has meaning if we're talking about law, I suppose, but it has no meaning the moment that the law is the subject.
There is no such thing an a RIGHT which is inalienable except if we're talking about a RIGHT under the law in a fuctional society
Any nitwit with a gun can take away every RIGHT you have.
The dead don't have RIGHTS.

So much for that consent of the governed and the tree of liberty.
Someone dig up Washington and let him know Scalia has a few words for him about seceding from the British Empire.

The colonies didn't legally secede. You can't seem to get that through your head. Are you mental?
They committed treason and got away with it.
New York Personal Injury Law Blog: Scalia: "There Is No Right to Secede"
The right of a state to secede from the nation is way outside my personal injury wheelhouse. But it has become a source of conversation on professorial and political blogs, and the concept has generated interest from the Tea Party movement.
As it happens, my brother has a letter from Justice Antonin Scalia that is directly on point as to the legitimacy of secession. How he got that letter, and its contents, are the subject of today's post.
The inspiration for writing, and the release of the letter, comes from Prof. Eugene Volokh, who wrote, "I keep hearing the claim that the legitimacy of secession from the U.S. was 'settled at Appomattox,' and I wanted to say a few words about why I think that makes little sense."
Just the beginning of a really really interesting blog post. Worth reading...especially since there are some people on this board who seem to think secession is a viable option.
