Your condescesion doesn't change the fact that the subject of that passage is still "Congress", and everything after it applies only to Congress.

My condescension is warranted, apparently:

Article VI, Clause 2:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Sorry.

Did it ever occur to you the Constitution may not be perfect? Or that granting Islam religion status was a mistake?

Sorry.

Yes, you are. The restriction still only applies to Congress. Article VI Clause 2 requires all judges to recognize this and rule accordingly. That's it. It does not instruct the judges to apply restrictions on Congress laid out in the Constitution to the legislatures of their own states.

I understand you did not explicitly claim that it does, but preseting it in this context seems a clear attempt to create the perception that it does.
