"Babbling on of foreign states does not change ~our~ Constitutions BOR's restrictions on ~our~ States, hugh.

I suggest you learn to live with them."

Again, I don't deny this. We're in agreement that the Constitution requires CA judges to adhere to the the 2nd Amendment. In fact, I taught you this about the supremacy clause.

"Faulty logic. The State has no power to absolutely prohibit a man from " -- making moonshine, -- for his own consumption."
Our self evident inalienable human rights are the same in any State of our Union. So says our supremacy clause & BOR's."

I didn't know making moonshine was a self-evident inalianable human right. A state does indeed have that power, since it's not enumerated. Thankfully for their people's happiness, most haven't used it.

Here's a more real-life example:
A state also has the power to outlaw prostitution. Many states do, but Nevadans might think it's an unalienable right for a woman to make money from her body as she chooses. If you think it's unalienable, your 2nd sentence there can't be true. Those rights are not "the same in every state of the Union". Oh the horror! How can you live with that!?

Our Constitution requires CA judges to adhere to ALL of our Amendments & ALL of our rights, enumerated or not. -- You are irrationally denying that clear fact, hugh.

We have the right to preserve food by making booze, beer or wine from our surplus corn, fruit or whatever; -- thus your ignorance on the subject of unenumerated rights is obvious.

No hugh, States have the power to reasonably regulate the commercial aspects of prostitution.

Many states do, but Nevadans might think it's an unalienable right for a woman to make money from her body as she chooses.

It's an unavoidable fact of life hugh, that a woman has an inalienable right to make money from using her body as she so chooses. -- We all do. --- The State can only TRY to regulate the more commercial aspects of 'sinful' behavior. It can't win, because individual rights get in its way.

If you think it's unalienable, your 2nd sentence there can't be true.

You can't rebut my point, so you're being obtuse? Sad ploy hugh.

Those rights are not "the same in every state of the Union". Oh the horror! How can you live with that!?

A woman has the same rights to use her body in Utah as she does in Nevada, hugh.
The zealots like you, those who initially tried to form a state in Utah, disagreed, -- but your type lost.
It took over 40 years to come up with an acceptable Utah State Constitution, one that guaranteed individual rights under a republican form of government.
