Missouri did pass a bill that would have barred selected Federal Agencies from enforcement in Missouri, Nixon vetoed it. Republicans knew it was unconstitutional. It was also secession although it did not use the specific wording. The border State Missouri never really learned the lessons from the 1860's. It is good that Lincoln's grave is encased in concrete the sound of him spinning must be unsettling.
