Quote:There's a multitude of things on the books, that doesn't change the morality of the subject. You want to execute individuals that look to peacefully dissolve their association with the Federal Government? 

 

Should we start rounding up the hippies in Colorado for execution, since they've seceded from Federal Laws in regards to marijuana? When did the Federal Government become the only legitimate form of government? 

 

I guess the bottom line is the age old question, are we a society that is mutually beneficial and compromised of States voluntarily working towards a better Union, or are we a society built on the Union dictating to States and Individuals legislation regardless of their desire to participate?

 

If it's the later I want no part of it. 

 

I didn't say that, I said there was a range of punishments. Why do you always try to change my arguments? And if you want to dissolve your relationship, the way to do that is to renounce your citizenship and leave, the government rarely stops people from doing that.

 

We are an indissoluble Union of Free States, but since 1865 your question has been answered and Federalism lost. That means you don't get to pick and choose what you do or don't participate in, though it appears that the Feds under this group will pick and choose what they enforce. That doesn't mean that the next Admin won't change their position and start enforcement, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. We're through the Looking Glass and the Federal Government trumps all.
