Please point out where it says that states can secede. It doesn't. So we rely on Supreme Court precedent. Which in this case decides they can't.You haven't defended anything. All you have done is say Samuel Chase several times and assert the Preamble forbids peaceful secession.
If you don't know the Constitution, how do you know Samuel P. Chase got it right?
I asked you specifically to defend your case per the Constitution not the SCOTUS. You can't do it because you don't know what you are talking about.
Admit you can't defend your position per the Constitution but still believe what you do. That would be honest at least.
You come in the thread and mock people and don't have the first clue what you are talking about, when it comes to the Constitution. All you have are talking points, deflection, and Google search.
It should bother you that you are debating in such a fashion. It should inspire you to research what exactly you believe and why per the Constitution. Instead, you tell me my beliefs are bizarre, while you patiently wait for me to take some detour were you feel more comfortable with the debate scenery. Not going to happen.
Up down. Up down.
That's not how the Constitution works, as per the 10th Amendment.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The states have those powers not explicitly denied to them in the Constitution. Secession is not denied to the states.
You are arguing from silence. I don't see the word "secession" in there. Do you?
And you are a fine one to say "the constitution doesn't work that way." The constitution works based on authoritative opinions issued by courts, the most authoritative being the Supreme COurt. And they rule the states cannot secede.
Up down. Up down.
