I have heard of that, but I am not an expert in legal cases.

In the future, if it ever gets bloody, cases such as Texas vs. White or whatever the Hell, and what was decided or not decided in the past won't matter. Understand this. I am not talking about media spin and political shenanigans. When things go to hell, people don't recite court cases.

We have to avoid this. Do you understand?

Texas v. White,

Court findings can't trump the Constitution, and prior to the Constitution was something called the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union....which the Founders seceded from in order to form the United States.

---

From the first legal treatise written after Constitutional Ratification by a man later appointed to the Virginia District Court by President James Madison-

And since the seceding states, by establishing a new constitution and form of federal government among themselves, without the consent of the rest, have shewn that they consider the right to do so whenever the occasion may, in their opinion, require it, as unquestionable; we may infer that that right has not been diminished by any new compact which they may since have entered into, since none could be more solemn or explicit than the first, nor more binding upon the contracting parties. Their obligation, therefore, to preserve the present constitution, is not greater than their former obligations were, to adhere to the articles of the confederation; each state possessing the same right of withdrawing itself from the confederacy without the consent of the rest, as any number of them do, or ever did, possess.
St. George Tucker, View of the Constitution of the United States , 1803.
