Then he'd find whose side the military is on and it's not hopey/changey's. ‘THERE IS NO RIGHT TO SECEDE’: SEE THE ALLEGED LETTER WHERE JUSTICE SCALIA SHOOTS DOWN IDEA OF LEAVING THE UNION Posted on November 13, 2012 at 12:46pm by Mytheos Holt [iframe id="f19cca28a" name="f34045f078" scrolling="no" title="Like this content on Facebook." class="fb_ltr" src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?api_key=189288944465301&locale=en_US&sdk=joey&channel_url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D17%23cb%3Df8e7a79c%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.theblaze.com%252Ffed10654c%26domain%3Dwww.theblaze.com%26relation%3Dparent.parent&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fstories%2Fthere-is-no-right-to-secede-see-the-letter-where-justice-scalia-shoots-down-idea-of-leaving-the-union%2F&node_type=link&width=285&font=lucida%20grande&layout=button_count&colorscheme=light&show_faces=false&send=true&extended_social_context=false" style="position: absolute; border-style: none; overflow: hidden; height: 20px; width: 133px;"][/iframe] [iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" hspace="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" tabindex="0" vspace="0" width="100%" id="I1_1352861883643" name="I1_1352861883643" src="https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/fastbutton?bsv&size=medium&hl=en-US&origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fstories%2Fthere-is-no-right-to-secede-see-the-letter-where-justice-scalia-shoots-down-idea-of-leaving-the-union%2F&jsh=m%3B%2F_%2Fapps-static%2F_%2Fjs%2Fgapi%2F__features__%2Frt%3Dj%2Fver%3DvitQ966oYZY.en.%2Fsv%3D1%2Fam%3D!9YrXPIrxx2-ITyEIjA%2Fd%3D1%2Frs%3DAItRSTNzjIDuwx7RN-ZFoHYrSldbn9i2aw#_methods=onPlusOne%2C_ready%2C_close%2C_open%2C_resizeMe%2C_renderstart%2Concircled&id=I1_1352861883643&parent=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com" title="+1" style="position: static; top: 0px; width: 90px; margin: 0px; border-style: none; left: 0px; visibility: visible; height: 20px;"][/iframe] [iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/tweet_button.1352365724.html#_=1352861883692&count=horizontal&id=twitter-widget-0&lang=en&original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fstories%2Fthere-is-no-right-to-secede-see-the-letter-where-justice-scalia-shoots-down-idea-of-leaving-the-union%2F&size=m&text=%E2%80%98There%20Is%20No%20Right%20to%20Secede%E2%80%99%3A%20See%20the%20Alleged%20Letter%20Where%20Justice%20Scalia%20Shoots%20Down%20Idea%20of%20Leaving%20the%20Union&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fstories%2Fthere-is-no-right-to-secede-see-the-letter-where-justice-scalia-shoots-down-idea-of-leaving-the-union%2F&via=theblaze" class="twitter-share-button twitter-count-horizontal" title="Twitter Tweet Button" data-twttr-rendered="true" style="width: 110px; height: 20px;"][/iframe] Comments (646) Last night, The Blaze reported that residents of 27 states had filed petitions with the White House to be allowed to secede from the union.
