[Me}: The Constitution is supreme to federal law and supersedes any federal law that conflicts with it.

[Wlat]: That's not what it says.

Yes it is. Article VI: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof...shall be the supreme Law of the Land"

The -Constitution- is NOT supreme to federal law. The Constitution AND the laws are supreme.
