I believe that the jist of it is that the residual power in the constitution -- that's the power that says that anything not explicitly given to the federal government goes to the states -- would go to the states because there is no mention of who has power over secession in the constitution. So... Yes, See the Declaration of Independence. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
