We believe in the 9th and 10th amendments, which means if it's not specifically written in this constitution, the federal government doesn't even have a right to opine on it.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is a naturally occurring manure. I think we are close. Yeah, that's what Jefferson said. So, yeah, I mean, that's probably part of it, to be honest. And when I think of it, like, in terms of recourse, because that's what... I want to be really clear about this.

People get... This is one of the most misunderstood things in all of American history is... The founders of this country, the Continental Congress, they weren't writing to England about becoming a free nation. They were writing for redress. Taxation without representation.

We expect to be treated as such. And we're not. So fuck you. We're going to leave. That's what really happened. They didn't say no kings. Yeah, that wasn't part of it. They didn't like the founders when when John Adams. So the Boston massacre happens, right? These troops spurred on by the Sons of Liberty trying to rabble rouse because they hated the British.
