St. George Tucker, Northwestern University Law Review
Largely forgotten today, Tucker returned to some legal prominence last Term, when the majority in District of Columbia v. Heller cited his annotated Blackstone’s Commentaries as proof that the Second Amendment had originally been understood as an individual right to arms.

Tucker is still considered a legal authority by today's US Supreme Court.

I believe I'll be taking his word over either of yours.

I'll take the Constitution over all our opinions. Where in the Constitution is there sanction for secession? I see no mention of the concept.

“Tucker is still considered a legal authority by today’s US Supreme Court.”

You can take Tucker’s word, and I’ll take the Constitution. The law of the land isn’t Tucker, or don’t you know that?

lol
