Message: <blockquote data-quote="freeranger" data-source="post: 1986377" data-attributes="member: 25733"><p>My view of secession is that it should be avoided if possible. As mentioned previously, the talk of secession is a reflection of peoples growing concern and fear of a growing federal government beyond the powers enumerated within the Constitution. As an advocate of the Tenth Amendment, I believe the optimal remedy is for the states to exert their ability to nullify unconstitutional laws (laws made outside the scope of the enumerated powers). As each state voluntarily joined the union, the same attitude holds for the reverse. It is no different than if individuals voluntarily join a group, then when they become disallusioned by the direction of the group, peacefully be permitted to withdraw without repercussion.</p></blockquote><p></p>
