Texas v. White is a total joke. I wonder if those who keep citing it have actually read it. Chase didn't even mention any of the early American legal giants who said secession was constitutional, much less address their arguments. Nor could he point to any sentence in the Constitution that expressly prohibited a state from revoking its ratification. Nor could he point to any sentence in the Constitution that said the Union was "perpetual," even though the Articles of Confederation had contained this verbiage. Nor did Chase address the clear implications of Article IV, Section 4, which prohibits the federal government from sending troops into a state without the permission of the governor or the legislature on the pretext of protecting the state from invasion or domestic violence. And on and on we could go.
Heck, even Ulysses S. Grant admitted that the founding fathers did not intend for the federal government to use force to keep states from leaving the Union.
This is not to mention that the Chase court that produced Texas v. White was the poster child for a packed court. If ever a court could be accused of being packed, the Chase court was it.
I doubt if they have read it or understood what it means to have a case argued before the Supreme Court. I simply asked who the parties represented were, and they all balked like that was stupid....but wouldn't answer. They are link knowledge children. They can send you to a link but they can't answer the questions, because they don't know shit.
Texas vs White has been a scam used by the North to somehow vindicate their response in that War. And most choose to believe it. I say 'choose' because if any did any research they would see it is all bullshit.
But then, who cares about the truth when you got emojis.
By the way, I obtained the book 'Dark Union' and am presently reading it. It is extremely interesting. I also obtained Otto Eisenschiml's book, but chose to read 'Dark Union' first. I have a third on the way.
