Thanks for the info, but the Constitution has supremacy over any federal statute. While devoting an entire Article (VII) to ratification, the Constitution is silent on secession. The X Amendment reserves powers not specifically delegated to the United States to the states and people.

Until the outcome of the Civil War rendered the question moot, any state could secede by rescinding its ratification of the Constitution. Until Lincoln prevented Maryland from seceding by imprisoning a sufficient number of pro-secession legislators, secession efforts were successful in 11 states out of 11 due to its legality and a belief the federal government and the North would accept secession. This included two states (Virginia & Tennessee) that were carried by the pro-Union Constitutional Union ticket in the 1860 Presidential election.

Falwell, a Baptist minister and chancellor of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., said Thursday on Robertson's religious TV program The 700 Club that he blames the attacks on pagans, abortionists, feminists, homosexuals, the American Civil Liberties Union and the People for the American Way.

"All of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say: 'You helped this happen,"' Falwell said.

He added later: "God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve."

Now, from pgs. 19-20 of What's So Great About America by Dinesh D'Souza:

So what is the Islamic objection to America? In conversations with Muslims from around the world, several common themes emerge...."Americans have two things on their minds: money and sex", "Your women are whores", "In America mothers prefer to work than to take care of the children", "In our culture the parents take care of the children, and later the children take care of the parents. In America the children abandon their parents", "America used to be a Christian country. Now atheism is the official religion of the West", "Your TV shows are disgusting. You are corrupting the morals of our young people".

Of course, their are other factors as to why Islam and the West, especially the United States, have been on a collision course which fulminated on Sept 11, 2001.
The disciples of Islam believe that we are indeed "infidels" and the Koran orders our destruction.
They are intent on making Islam not only the religion of the world, but also the 'way of life'.

Dr. Falwell's remarks made after 9/11 were correct, as his most recent one's are too.

Reagan had much more political sense than does Falwell. [I would even bet that Ronnie even with Alzeimers has better sense than Jerry Falwell.]

Truth is, President Reagan often confided with Reverend Falwell & both men held much respect for the other.

Falwell makes an ass of himself...again. It's people like him that cause us conservatives to have a bad rap.

Is that a fact. Well Jerry Falwell & The Moral Majority were very instrumental in getting Ronald Reagan elected.
And President Reagan considered Mr. Falwell a friend as well as spiritual adviser.
I think Ronald Reagan would be better at determining who gives conservatives a "bad rap" than yourself.

If anything, Falwell's words will motivate the religious right to get off their butts and get out and vote!

They will.
A lot of them stayed home when H.W. broke his no-tax pledge & later when the RNC offered up Bob Dole.
The "Religious Right", in my opinion, is the most prolific voting bloc in the country, (my apologies to the erudite/beacon of truth...Ann Coulter), when they are indeed motivated.

Well, the "disciples of Islam" who try to enforce this perversion will have to be killed, every last one of them.

Falwell is a tactless fool. Blaming American behavior for Islamist retribution is idiotic.

Yes they did. But we are talking about who has the most political sense. Right?

Well Earl, I'm not, because Jerry Falwell isn't a politician.

BOMBAY, India (AP) - Five people were killed Friday in Hindu-Muslim rioting and police gunfire after riots broke out during a general strike to protest the Rev. Jerry Falwell calling the founder of Islam a terrorist. Forty-seven others were injured.

The rioters attacked each other with knives and stones during the strike called to protest what Falwell said on CBS television early this month. Muslim organizations said Falwell's remarks were derogatory and blasphemous.

The conservative Baptist minister told the television network Islam's prophet "was a — a violent man, a man of war."

"Jesus set the example for love, as did Moses," Falwell said. "I think Muhammad set an opposite example."

Two Muslims and one Hindu were killed by police gunfire and one Muslim and Hindu died of stab wounds in Sholapur 225 miles south of Bombay, the capital of western Maharashtra state, said Kirpa Shankar, the junior home minister of Maharashtra state .

The trouble started when a group of Muslims took to the streets and were challenged by Hindus. Some rioters targeted shops, homes and vehicles, police said.

Falwell's remarks had triggered street protests in Indian-controlled Kashmir (news - web sites) on Monday.
