PS: Post # 84

Just like the British wasted massive amounts of time and resources planning for a Russian invasion through Afghanistan

No invasion was planned to invade Russia


Britain guarded against a possible Russian invasion, the same way that the USA guarded against a Soviet invasion through Alaska:

With the big gun control battle going on in the state of Virginia, apparently West Virginia, one of the most gun friendly states in the country, has offered to take in some of the counties in Virginia that are sympathetic to the gun rights cause. This will be interesting. I wonder of state borders will change and West Virginia will become bigger and Virginia will become smaller. West Virginia certainly had the right idea during the Civil War.

Please, tell us that you’re just kidding, thinking there’s actually any possibility of VA giving away any of it's territory.
 
“Internet bully”

Just when I thought you couldn’t get more pathetic, you top yourself.

Add to that you doubling down on your previous lies, and....

Welcome back to ignore.

Doesn't a past ruling on this by the SC, mean an area can leave one state for another without their state agreeing ?

So no need to oppose mandatory gun registration then which TurtleDude says is a first step to confiscation...which would require a repeal of the 2nd amendment.

So what, it was ruled "constitutional" wasn't it ?

The move of Berkeley and Jefferson Counties to WV was approved.

In order for Frederick, or any other border county in VA, to secede there would first have to be a local referendum and then the VA legislature would have to approve, and the Governor sign off on it.

Not gonna happen.

I don't know, but are you saying the Va constitution allows individual counties to secede ?

States constitutions must be in line with our country’s constitution. Given that fact, if it is constitutional for counties to leave one state for another, as has been asserted, then VA would be bound to follow suit.

Based on what I’ve read though, there’s virtually no chance of that actually happening again in modern America. Just an academic discussion.
 
Weird how all these people in ****-hole red states worry about other states? WV needs to fix their own problems and poverty, then worry about other states like California, Virginia, etc..

That's a broad statement and I don't know if it's true

I'd say a state's constitution can't contradict the federal constitution.

That still leaves a lot of areas open

What part of the Constitution states this ?

“In line with” and “can’t contradict” are synonymous.

Go back to the SCOTUS case referenced earlier and read for yourself what the Justices said.

No they're not, they're quite distinct

If a state's constitution specified a legislature of a lower and an upper house, it would be in line with the national constitution. If it specified one house only, it would not be in line

If a state's constitution allowed for slavery, it would contradict the national constitution

I asked about the Constitution.

But OK, you paste what they did say if it backs up your point.

You really are a pugnacious fellow, aren’t you? Too bad for you that you are, yet again, wrong.

“In line with” means in accordance with. Whether or not a state has a bicameral legislature makes no difference. Nebraska’s constitution is in line with the United States Constitution.

You’ve been provided the answer already. Your laziness isn’t my concern.

Not really, more dogmatic.

No it doesn't...it doesn't matter if a state's constitution is in line with the national Constitution, provided it doesn't contradict it

So it doesn't have to mirror the Constitution, except where the Constitution says it must do[/quote]

There's the difference

You may be dogmatic (I won’t argue), but you are definitely pugnacious and wrong.

Says the guy who doesn't even both to post even a semblance of an argument.


Instead choosing insult and verbal abuse over substance.
