but, this is really just another example of how the united states constitution is out of date.
you've got crazy people running around thinking it makes sense to have private fiefdoms exist on the same level as the state, in 2015. and they'd take slaves, if you let them, too. total feudalism.
a new document is clearly necessary, that specifies what is standard in the civilized world: that the state owns the country under allodial title, has the right to eminent domain, can raise taxes, etc.
and, if these yahoos don't like that, i'm guessing there's some spots of land in antarctica that haven't been claimed yet.
