There’s a federal groin leech in every crowd.

Now run along to your masters and tell them that I have no intent of complying with their dictates. I’m probably violating a half dozen federal laws that I don’t even know about.

Liberals, who hate the constitution, like to bring up the supremacy clause without actually reading what it says. The purpose is not to prevent states from reacting to fed overreach, but to guarantee every citizen has the constitutional rights protected. New York’s SAFE act is a violation of the supremacy clause.

>> Actually the constitution reigns supreme. > > Which is where federal supremacy comes from.... Only kinda. There's a qualifier there, those laws "made in the pursuance thereof" [the Constitution] -- therefore, any federal law which is contrary to the Constitution does not enjoy supremacy. For further reading, start here.

Federal "supremacy" comes from the limited powers granted them...
