"It's against the UNITED STATES Constitution"

Really? Where does it say that? The only place I see something like that mentioned is in the Declaration of Independence. Pray tell, under what circumstances was that document written?

"(see e.g. Civil War too ; )"

Heh, citing an illegal invasion of a foreign entity along with an attempted genocide (see: Sherman's correspondance with his wife) isn't about to win me over.

All that aside, the original poster wasn't talking about overthrowing the government, but rather, prosecuting those who have and continue to explicitly aid illegal immigrants. I would imagine he's talking about BP agents who've taken bribes and public officials who've actively assisted illegal aliens.

You also missed the word "buried" - as for the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution thereafter specifically outlawed "Treason" (see case cite above too). Regardless of your opinion re: Civil War, that at least answered the question of State succession in the negative, don't you think?
