“Supremacy Clause in Article VI of the Constitution gives federal law power over state law. “

And, by any reasonable reading, Ammendment X limits the scope and power of the federal government.

The Supremacy Clause applies to laws that the federal government has the Constitutionally delegated authority from the people to create in the first place. Just where in the Constitution is the federal government given the power to make this law over us? Unconstitutional laws are void on their face. They don’t need the States to nullify them, but it might prove helpfull for the people to have their support in this fight.

Federal law supersedes State law ONLY when the Constitution grants FedGov that authority in the FIRST place. These alleged law professors need to be fired.

It’s on a par with the notion that a treaty can somehow trump the Constitution. No way the Founders were that dumb and/or naïve.
