Question: “What are your thoughts on secession? Are the states themselves sovereign, or did they become slaves to the federal government when they ratified the constitution?” — Goose

Answer: I know there may be a few Libertarians who disagree, but this question was answered to my — and most people’s — satisfaction by the Civil War. In the unlikely event that it ever became a serious issue again, I expect that the issue would be settled the same way if necessary.
