If anyone has an extra £10,000 laying around you can own an original copy of Anderson's Constitution from 1723. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157366322054?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=aUid0o1PS6a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=aUid0o1PS6a&stype=1&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I only regret that you never made your case so we could discuss it.

Lodges don't pay tariffs. Irrelevant. And yet, you've still not made a single coherent point on how any of your ramblings relate to Freemasonry.

None. DeLima v. Bidwell was about whether tarrifs could be collected from annexed territories. Since lodges aren't paying any customs duties this is another swing and a miss.

Your whole argument is a non starter as it relates to Freemasonry. At least you have yet to make a single valid point relating your legalistic gymnastics to the Craft.

I stand by characterization of his arguments as nonsensical. At no point in my decades of Masonic membership in multiple grand lodges has any discussion ever been proposed to improve the health of Freemasonry by examining the relationship between the Craft and the Federal Government. And when...

Your attempt to pollute Masonic discussion with SovCit nonsense just isn't going to gain any traction. Try Reddit.

Free is always good. But I am with you there that I much more prefer the physical media for my Masonic reading.

I've enjoyed four great Masonic periodicals for a few years now. the Masonic Society the Rocky Mounty Mason the Philalethes Society The Scottish Rite Research Society But the Masonic Society shutdown earlier this year and the I haven't heard anything from the Rocky Mountain Mason in a while...

Nothing has run afoul. At least, you have yet to make any valid and coherent argument of anything regarding the Grand Lodge of Texas that might be construed as having run afoul. Maybe try summing it up instead of posting a dozen case laws I have no intention of reading because I have zero doubt...

Do you even listen to yourself? You make a false accusation and when I correct you, you act as if I am agreeing with your nonsensical argument. It is no mystery who grants a charter for the formation of a new grand lodge. The three Lodges were from the Grand Lodge of Louisiana. They applied to...

Happy to continue now that you've actually posted what you wanted to discuss. I have no need to explain that as I never claimed that that the Grand Lodge of the Republic of Texas went to the people of Texas. The Grand Lodge was and is an independent body that is not tied to the Republic or...

The authority to create a Grand Lodge lies with a regularly constituted Grand Lodge already in existence after chartering regular lodges in an area (usually) unclaimed by another regular jurisdiction once those chartered Lodges decide to form a new Grand Lodge. Three lodges were chartered in the...

We'll never know because he wouldn't just make his case for us to discuss.

Thank you for proving my point.

Your experience here would likely have been much different had you just stated your position and allowed the debate to happen naturally instead of you trying to force the discussion along your prepared course to force the outcome you wanted.

I don't even thin they're a troll. More someone who doesn't know how an internet forum works.

Congratulations on getting your Third, Brother!

I'm going to go ahead and bow out now. Good luck.

I'll not concede anything, because as stated, I'm not an expert in international law. Simply state why you think this is relevant and cite examples. Because, honestly, this sounds like some of that "Texas is its own country" kind of nonsense. Do I think this question came up when the state of...
