[4CJ]

The validity of the acts of secession was a central issue before the court, and the court ruled that Texas was never out of the Union at any time.

If the state had never left the union, the the state legislature's action regarding the sale of the bonds would have been legal. The decision is a most ludicrous absurity. Chase's decision is Bravo Sierra.

And when did this occur?

Surely you jest! Have you nver heard of a Supreme Court reversing itself, or of an Amendment that overturned a Supreme Court decision? Or of one Amendment overturning another earlier one? Think about it.

[Non-Sequitur]

Chase's decision is Bravo Sierra.

Your opinion on the Supreme Court's decision does not invalidate it. Unilateral secession as practiced by the southern states was illegal and not sanctioned by the Constitution.

Surely you jest! Have you nver heard of a Supreme Court reversing itself, or of an Amendment that overturned a Supreme Court decision? Or of one Amendment overturning another earlier one? Think about it.

Sure I have. And none of those things have happened where unilateral secession is concerned.
