Lotsa cute theory with little application to observable reality.
The REALITY of US law is that LEGALITY is determined by the courts,
as enforced by the administration of a particular jurisdiction. So,
Jackson's ethnic cleansing of Native Americans was ruled unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court, but he just ignored the justices and
proceded with genocide. And the outcome of the Civil War has been
ruled upon by many courts up to and including the Supremes, said
rulings enforced by subsequent administrations - and all arguments
that such actions are 'illegal' are quite irrelevant to the current
"ground truth." Can the outcome of the Civil War be reversed? Sure
'nuff. Just stage a coup. Can the outcome of the unconstitutional
Jacksonian genocide be reversed? Sure thang. Just evacuate all non-
Native Americans off all lands in the South & West, is all. Think
you'll be able to do that, friend? Ya sure, by golly...
Trying to undo history is about as useful as teaching pigs to fly.
Note: The above statement that "The Lincoln Administration 'Warred'
upon Sovereign Nation States" is bogus. The states were sovereign
under the Articles of Confederation, but NOT under the Constitution.
Whenever someone drags out such misstatements in their arguments, be
wary of whatever else they say. A sugar-wrapped lie still stinks.
