Assembly elections in 2012 saw 161,000 more Democratic votes than Republicans, yet they won only 39% of the seats. Because they need to cheat thru gerrymandering, cutting early voting hours and eliminating early voting on weekends. <br /><br />Of course cheating nothing new to your hero, is it? garage mahalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485491995866513686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-29809813976498476572014-04-14T17:29:51.125-05:002014-04-14T17:29:51.125-05:00No Terry, the States would most certainly not be a...No Terry, the States would most certainly not be able to come and go as they pleased.

If the circumstances were considered sufficiently extreme for a state to suceed why would succession be limited to one state? And if enough states were suceed why would you assume that an Army composed of volunteers from those states along with those states National Guards would go along with putting down a succession?

Later, many abolitionists argued that the northern states should secede in order to avoid contamination by southern slavery, such as through the Fugitive Slave Act. If Dred Scott had remained the law of the land, northern secession would have been the logical response to the threat that the country would become all slave.<br /><br />That said, (a) I don't think the 10th Amendment authorizes secession (Lincoln clearly didn't think so) and (b) we aren't at the point where such extreme measures need to be considered, so why muddy the waters in an election year in which there is a real prospect of making both houses of Congress bulwarks against further Obamafication of the country?The Godfatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10575359417766667457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-66761007551334945202014-04-14T14:09:51.929-05:002014-04-14T14:09:51.929-05:00The War of Northern Aggression settled nothing.
