"I'm not saying that States can violate it."

Hey, weasel. What are you saying?

Are you saying that Article I, Section 9 is also binding on the states by the Supremacy Clause?

How can you say that? Section 9 is part of the "supreme law of the land" from Article VI that you constantly point out - "anything in the laws or constitutions of the states to the contrary notwithstanding". How can you say that states can violate it?

Always was. All of the Constitution & its Amendments are the "Law of the Land".
