Also, you claimed at one point that the Preamble trumps Article VII in stating whether it was the people or the states that created the Constitution. Article VII is a legally-binding passage that requires nine states to ratify; states amend the Constitution; and presidential elections are held on a state/federal level, not a national level (if you're not sure of the difference, please ask). How can you propose (with a straight face) that these facts are subordinated by a phrase in a non-binding introductory section?

Bump. The Preamble to the Constitution is a statement of intent and contains no delegated powers. Yet he dislikes the Preamble to the BoR that specifically limits them to the Federal government.

The Preamble to the BoR does ~not~ specifically limit them to the Federal government.

It specifically says that when ratified, they will be -- "part of said Constitution;" -- which is the supreme Law of the Land. -- The "laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
