And this time, it's not South Carolina's fault. (You bums owe us for taking shots at Fort Sumter; very sneaky of you to start a war that gets fought on Virginia's soil...)
Apparently, some of the liberal side of the aisle started mouthing that this country is the most divided it's been since the Late Unpleasantness, and how perhaps the "blue" States might remedy their unhappiness with the election of November by secession.
As fun as it is to pronounce the doctrine of secession a viable one, especially around left-wing law professors, let's be a little more---not much---serious and take a gander at M.T. Owens' latest column wherein he analyzes a bit of the situation that the secessionsts would face.
Tee hee. If it comes to that, I'll suggest that Governor Warner raise a regiment or thirty of riflemen for a term of service not to exceed two years in the service of the Commonwealth of Virginia, for the purpose of restoring order in the rogue province known as "West Virginia". Where once statues of Saddam Hussein were pulled down, I'll pull down a statue of Robert C. Byrd in the WV capitol. Heh heh heh.
