I always knew Montana was the one who would start anything having to do with succession .
In the book (the second American civil war ) it was Montana and Ohio , and the first Federal troops in there were totally Destroyed.
In seeing that 11 more states followed ,Texas being one of them and one of the most important for having defendable deep water ports.
Alaska also ,and with the Governor they have up there now she is already at the point of saying ( screw you ) and she said that Alaska will not recognize any Federal Gun Control as far as bans ,confiscation ,or registration.
Two weeks ago she kicked elements of the ATF and the EPA out of her state and told the State Police to make sure they comply.
The Military think tank of Jane's .com says the next American Civil war will not be so much between states ,It will be a war of Ideas ,and the way some states feel about America in the way they feel it should be.
The same thing happened to the Romans over the Pax Romana ,their version of our Constitution ,it was called the Punic Wars.
Romans who felt the Republic was being replaced by the Socialist Empire who was dissolving the Pax Romana as the Liberals now are doing the Constitution.
One other American saw the same thing happening to America that we see today.
We have three branches of Government , two of these branches have violated their oath of office and as we speak should be removed .
#1 Executive ,The sitting President and the three running in November are in violation of their oath of office to obey and protect the Constitution. #2 Legislative ,Congress should be rendered ineffective ,and put on suspension for the laws they have passed ,and even talking about anything in the effect of your right to bear arms is a treasonous act .#3 the Judicial ,The Supreme court at this moment is the only branch of Government still functioning in accordance. The entire existence of the Supreme Court is the Constitution ,its application to laws ,and to be sure it is enforced.
The other American that had to use the act of enforcement that in the event the American people feel their rights under the Constitution have been violated have the right to replace that Government and install one in accordance to law.
Washington did just this with the aid of the Supreme court. All three have the power to do this ,but then as now it is the SCOTUS who has to ring the bell,and they know it ,why do you think both party's try to stack this Court in their favor ?
What should SCOTUS do that Washington did ?#1, Immediately suspend the other two branches of Government for violation of Oath and dereliction of Office.
#2 ,order General Patreas back from IRAQ ,Order him to take command as Commander and Chief pending the reconstruction of the Government.
3# Hold immediate elections in order to re-establish order.
Believe it or not ,Washington actually did this because sympathizers of the British had been put in Congress ,and him being the President he asked SCOTUS to do it.
Grant almost did it ,Roosevelt ,Truman, and Kennedy.
It is time for the Constitution to show its teeth , visa vie ,the 2nd Amendment.
If SCOTUS did this i would follow them to the end , and in the DC gun case they have no choice but to follow the Constitution.
