True. - Same principle applies to making your own booze, -- or guns.
>States have no delegated power to prohibit making & using most anything.
-- They can only 'reasonably regulate' most activities, restricted by Constitutional due process.
Delegated? States had all the power --
Wrong again kiddo. 'We the People' have always had ALL the power. Check out our Declaration.
back in 1789 they delegated some of that power to the newly created federal government. Whatever wasn't delegated, they retained.
Yep, thats what our People did. They delegated power to both the States & the feds. As per the 10th.
One of those retained powers was the police power, and the states are allowed to prohibit making and using anything they damn well please, provided it isn't against the state constitution.
And the State Constitutions are subordinate to the US Constitutions supreme Law of the Land, and all State officials are pledged to support the US Constitution & its Amendments.
Read Article VI sometime, once you get out of that corner.
I see. So if Congress passes a constitutional federal law, and the law survives numerous court challenges all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, then the citizens of the states must also comply, correct?
And if a state official, pledged to support the US Constitution, attempts to pass state legislation contrary to federal law, why, that would be treason, would it not?
Well then, you and I are in agreement.
