Stephen you really need to break out the books and not copy what you read on-line. If I am a Supreme Court Justice and say to you in a private conversation...all blue eye people should be hung....guess what Stephen, that doesn't make it law...really, really it doesn't... However when my court rules as in Texas vs, White, then it becomes law. Simple?

Now, once again you're trying to dance with me. That won't work with this Buckeye. My statement was this, Chase never did rule that secession was legal. Even Mr. Upton agrees there...I think? As to what he may have said in converstion. Please quote to me where he said secession was legal and to whom he said it.
