"The preamble to our US Constitution belies Greenslades loony theory"

But Greenslade's interpretation of the preamble to the BOR shows that he is rational, according to you.

And every time, from now on, when you attempt your nonsense of "the BOR applies to the states" I will be sure to copy your "rational" statement.

Paulsen imagines:

Finally, you've distorted the meaning of the Supremacy Clause. The Supremacy Clause establishes the authority of federal law, that's all. I read an article by Robert Greenslade who rephrased the clause to where it becomes a little more understandable. To wit:
"The Constitution is a compact or contract between the several States. If this clause is read in that context, it reads as follows:
The contract between the several States, the Constitution, and all laws and treaties passed pursuant to the contract between the States shall be the supreme law of the land.

This supposed 'contract' theory is raving lunacy.. A claim unsupported by anything in the Constitution itself. What "context" is Greenslade citing?

It is the contract between the several States that is supreme, not the federal government. That government is simply the entity designated by the States to execute the limited functions entrusted to it by the terms of the contract."

The preamble to our US Constitution belies Greenslades loony theory. Get yourself a new 'authority' paulsen.

But Greenslade's interpretation of the preamble to the BOR shows that he is rational, according to you.

Bull. You're imagining something I've never written. Typical of you paulsen.

And every time, from now on, when you attempt your nonsense of "the BOR applies to the states" I will be sure to copy your "rational" statement.

Feel free to prove yourself foolish. Our entire Constitution and ALL its Amendments apply to ALL levels of government in the USA.
To claim otherwise is to deny the plain words in Article VI of the Constitution itself.
