Don't be a grammar nazi - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book 1 #7
It's the same place in the Constitution that has a provision for abortion and same sex marriage.
“I think if Thomas Jefferson were looking down, the author of the Bill of Rights, on what’s being proposed here, he’d agree with it. He would agree that the First Amendment cannot be absolute.” - Chuck Schumer (D). Yet, Madison and Mason wrote the Bill of Rights, according to Sheila Jackson Lee, 400 years ago. Yup, it's a fact.
The last Monday in May in the US then apparently honors and celebrates people who killed millions of foreigners - using your logic and a yawner of a viewpoint to try to stir up controversy for a thread.
As with the US memorial day, Confederate Decoration Day is
Confederate Memorial Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Same as the regular Memorial Day

And a Confederate defender appears, spare me.
"We have more responsibility than power, I think. The newspaper can create great controversies, stir up arguments within the community or discussion, can throw light on injustices....just as it can do the opposite. It can hide things and be a great power for evil." -- Rupert Murdoch, 1968
As a state or federal holiday? No.
The Tories we American colonists on the side of the British. If you think confederate soldiers deserve a memorial day then how are you going to argue that Tories shouldn't get a memorial day? They are no different than the confederates who did not want to be Americans.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear"
Cicero Marcus Tullius
Texas surrendered at the end of the day along with the rest of the South. For added lols, SCOTUS said Texas never seceded in the first place.

secession is not in the constitution, therefore something that is not in the constitution or which is not prohibited to the states by the constitution... is a state power.
Yes , and there were many contributing factors to the civil war and not just slavery such as the whiskey Tarrif that brought about Shays rebellion and the centralized bank disputes.
It was a rich man's battle but a poor man's war
Guinea pigs are amazing furry creatures !!
Cite, please. Not arguing the point - just curious as to the SCOTUS decision.
