Democratic Gun Control Sit-In

[Thumper]

"House Speaker Paul Ryan had some harsh words for his Democratic colleagues on Thursday, following their sit-in.


"We are not going to let stunts like this stop us from carrying out the people's business," Ryan said at his weekly news briefing. "Why do I call this a stunt? Because it is one. Let's all be honest here."

"They are not trying to get this done through regular order," he said. "They're staging protests; they're trying to get on TV; they are sending fundraising solicitations."

"If this is not a political stunt, they why are they trying to raise money off of it?" "

We're starting a ground war with ISIS on home soil, and the very first thing these dumb stupid *******s want to do is take our rifles away....UFB!

texas can't legally secede.

Of course, the debate over whether states can secede from the United States was officially put to an end by the Civil War. During his first Inaugural Address, President Abraham Lincoln declared that “no state, upon its own mere notion, can lawfully get out of the Union…in view of the Constitution and the laws, the Union is unbroken”.

After the war, the Supreme Court endorsed Lincoln’s view on the constitutionality of secession. In 1868 Texas was a party to a case before the Court, Texas v. White, where the Court ruled that “when Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation.” The Court put to rest any 10th amendment claims that states retain the right to leave the Union as they please, as Chief Justice Salmon Chase wrote that the Constitution, “in all its provisions, looks to an indestructible Union.”

Secession in the United States

Discussion about the right of U.S. states to secede from the union began shortly after the American Revolutionary War. The United States Constitution does not prohibit or permit secession. Each of the colonies originated by separate grants from the British Crown and had evolved relatively distinct political and cultural institutions prior to national independence.

One commentator has asserted that the Constitution's Supremacy Clause can be interpreted as weighing against a right of secession, but that the Republican Guarantee Clause can be interpreted to indicate that the federal government has no right to keep a state from leaving as long as it maintains a republican form of government.[1]

The question remained open in the decades before the Civil War. In 1825 Alexis de Tocqueville observed "If today one of these same states wanted to withdraw its name from the contract, it would be quite difficult to prove that it could not do so. To combat it, the federal government would have no evident support in either force or right." However, Joseph Story wrote in 1830 in Commentaries on the Constitution that the document foreclosed the right of secession
