Yes, I posted it.
I'm not surprised you didn't understand it given your hollow retort.
I should have expected the substandard "substance" knowing its source. No need to call something a hollow retort when it isn't even a proper response, which you should expect ONLY if you make a logical argument (parroting a rhetoric doesn't count as one in my world).
Legal and right are two different things. Everything Hitler did was legal, and it was all wrong. The people have every right to overthrow the government if it is usurped by a tyrant.
I never said they don't have that right. I said it's not a legal right
Overthrowing the government is not a constitutional right.
The usual wishful thinking from the usual liberals.
The 10th amendment says that "the states or the people" can do anything not specifically prohibited by the Constitution.
Is there a part of the Constitution that forbids overthrowing the government?
Keep in mind a part of an even older document, written by one of the same dead white guys, that states:
...when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government...
That was the first law ever passed in the United States of America. And it is just as lawful and binding upon us today as it was then.
It's not just a right. It is our DUTY to overthrow the government when the govt starts abusing us badly enough.

The 10th amendment does not allow treason. And yes, the Constitution does forbid treason. The word is in there several times and it is listed as a crime.

Laws are just paper and ink. Apart from laws against physically harming one another, I've yet to read a single valid argument for blind adherence to laws. The way some people talk about "laws" you'd think God dropped them down from the sky to us. That's not the case. They're the product of people who crave wielding force over others for their own personal gain (no matter which "side" they're on). Why must anyone have loyalty to any government if he does not support it?
