Midchuck BS: Will Obama Start a Civil War Tomorrow? (140* d) RE: BS: Will Obama Start a Civil War Tomorrow? 16 Jan 13

The White House responded to 125,000 people who signed a petition for seccession yesterday (I believe). They said that the Supreme Court decided that issue right after the Civil War -- once you're in the US as a State you can't just up and leave.

The question that has always bothered me is, if it was legal for the US to leave the British Empire when they wished to, why was it illegal for the South to leave the US when THEY wished to? The only difference that I can see is that the South lost the Civil War, but the US won the Revolution (or maybe the BE had too many other wars going to spend the money and time to win it). But if that's the only difference, then law is simply a matter of superior force. In which case, each of us needs as many guns and as much ammunition as he or she can assemble.
