[ The confusion lies in the fact that the Constitution is the supreme Law of the Land, -- above any of the Federal, State, or local government statutes/laws "to the contrary notwithstanding". ]

"to the contrary notwithstanding"..... LoL....
This is non-sense.. a legalese Curly(Howard) salute..

The federal gov't was "invented" to represent the States internationally or to arbite disareements between the States, not to interfere with the States internally, or superceed them domestically..

Either the States can give the federal gov't(which by the way are PEOPLE) the Curly salute or the Federal gov't can give the States the Curly salute.. there is no middle ground.. One option is a democracy to other option is our republic the way it was designed. Thats why the civil war, in reality, was the war of Northern Agression.. Slavery was abolished true, but so was States rights.. There are two sides to every coin.. makeing the U.S. a defacto democracy happens to be ugly side to abolishing slavery. Allowing succesion would have been the smartest move.. but the north wanted to force its will on the other states.. And its STILL happening by the way.. The democrat northern states have been and ARE forceing socialism on the other states.. They are STILL doing it..

You're calling a direct quote from Article VI, -- a three stooges type JOKE?

You 'invented' that nonresponsive retort, hosepipe. The jokes on you.
