The Constitution AND the laws are supreme.

Nope. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, followed by laws "which shall be made in Pursuance thereof."

No reasonable person could ignore the fact that both the majority and dissenting opinons in the Prize Cases cite the Militia Act. A reasonable person would have to conclude that the Militia Act is one of those laws made in pursuance to the Constitution.

James Madison, in your opinion was an "unreasonable person," but what would he know about the constitution anyway?
