One of the enumerated rights -clearly- is that the laws of the United States are the supreme law of the land.

Can you translate that for me? How is the supremacy clause a right?

Now, one of the powers delegated to the United States lies in the supremacy clause, which reads

The supremacy clause does not delegate a power. It states that laws made pursuant to the delegated powers have authority over overlapping state statutes.

Whatever -you- think, the Supreme Court said otherwise --unanimously--. The 9th and 10th amendments do not stop the president from applying the law in the Militia Act.

No state, as President Lincoln said, can get out of the Union on its own mere resolve. Acts, ordinances and documents to that effect are legally void. They have no force.
