Separation Now

Anton can win every logical argument he wants. But winning arguments never works. Power has to be wrested, won, and then used. The only argument the debased really have anyway is "I want." https://t.co/ZdW6pcEEbW

In other words, they'll never let us go. We have to make them.

Michael Anton is naive if he thinks this will be accomplished without conflict.

We Don't Want Unity

Separation now. Dreher can't even admit what else has been lost, thanks to Hart-Celler and weaponized migration:
"We are a divided country because we have lost the core narratives that bound us: a shared Christian faith (however attenuated), and a shared commitment to the historical narrative of America as an imperfect country that always strives to make life better for the next generation than the one that came before it.

Dreher: We cannot have unity if the price of peace is surrender to the cultural Left. https://t.co/8mQuRkJqTr

An Example of Leadership from the Ivory Tower

“That Democrats would seriously demand the institutional deconstruction of checks & balances & federalism as the price for national peace is no longer far-fetched...everything possible should be done to take the Podesta Gambit off the table quickly.” Andrew Busch explains.

American Mind

Finally, at the intellectual level, those who are committed to the Electoral College, a federal republic, and checks and balances must make the case for them, and those who want to see the United States remain united need to dust off their Federalist and their Lincoln and begin making the constitutional and political case for unity and against secession.

And if that is not enough? Would the author be content for others to do the dirty work of using force to maintain the union? Academics.Clown face

Secession

And Of Our Right to Not Associate?

The First Amendment is not enough, nor is the original assumption that states should be sovereign.

TAC Bookshelf: TAC Bookshelf: Defending Our Constitutional Right to Associate

Bradley J. Birzer, TAC fellow-at-large: Our fundamental right to associate with whom we please—in our families, in our churches, in our schools, in our businesses, and in our fraternal orders—is under assault. That’s the argument made by Luke C. Sheahan in his excellent new book, Why Associations Matter: The Case for First Amendment Pluralism (University Press of Kansas, 2020).

The courts have progressively diminished just the idea of associating, even though they once espoused the “right to petition” and the “right to assemble” in the First Amendment as essential to a proper understanding of the Constitution. Sadly, recent court decisions have looked at the right to assemble merely as connected to free speech, thus only allowing association when the goal is to express some idea. Drawing on, fascinatingly, 19th-century political thought, as well as the work of Robert Nisbet, Sheahan properly re-orients the discussion in the present day, asking all the right questions and finding rather brilliant solutions. Why Associations Matter is a must-read and a must-own. If we lose the right to associate—beyond just expression—we lose our profound American identity.
