Do you support Taiwanese independence?

then why is it unconstitutional to secede from the USA?

You're just proving the HK pinky's point that our support for Taiwan is all about geopolitics. Taiwan can't even agree on being Taiwan and not the ROC. Let Taiwan do what it wants and not what would be most convenient to our own interests.

TAIPEI: Taiwan wants dialogue with China but cannot accept its proposal for "one country, two systems", President Tsai Ing-wen said on Wednesday (May 20), calling for both sides to find a way to coexist.

In a speech after being sworn in for her second and final term in office, Tsai said relations between Taiwan and China had reached an historical turning point.

"Both sides have a duty to find a way to coexist over the long term and prevent the intensification of antagonism and differences," she said.

Tsai and her Democratic Progressive Party won January's presidential and parliamentary elections by a landslide, vowing to stand up to China, which claims Taiwan as its own and says it would be brought under Beijing's control by force if needed.

"Here, I want to reiterate the words 'peace, parity, democracy, and dialogue'. We will not accept the Beijing authorities' use of 'one country, two systems' to downgrade Taiwan and undermine the cross-strait status quo. We stand fast by this principle," Tsai said.

YEAH SUPPORT EM

Overturned in 1877.

>The Court wrote regarding acts establishing an independent government that "The validity of its acts, both against the parent state and the citizens or subjects thereof, depends entirely upon its ultimate success; if it fail to establish itself permanently, all such acts perish with it; if it succeed and become recognized, its acts from the commencement of its existence are upheld as those of an independent nation."

This is why we now retroactively recognize the Philippines' independence from the US from 1934.

the Philippines never achieved statehood.

Texas V. White was not overturned.

of course not

Not technically overturned, but effectively nullified regarding the CSA. Separatist movements never became popular enough in the US afterwards for it to warrant official responses.

Despite what the Supreme Court ruled at that point, there is, to my knowledge, no clause in the Constitution that specifically bars a state from seceding.

You are correct about the Philippines.

t. law student

it was not overturned, at all. end of story. the ruling is still in force. states are only allowed to secede if the entire nation agree's to it. no unilateral 'im leaving bye guys'.

it violates Article Four of the United States Constitution.

No

True. I promise you that if a popular separatist movement actually springs up in the US that doesn't involve the subjugation of 1/3 of the population in that territory, I and others may work against any law that would compromise their sovereignty, in that hypothetical situation.
