"ALL of the constitutions amendments are part of our supreme 'law of the land'"

Yes they are. And they applied to the federal government only.

Yes they are.

Thank you for your momentary honesty.

And they applied to the federal government only.

That's a communitarian dream.
Feel free to dream on..

What part of "shall not be infringed" is giving you difficulty, Robert dear? For that matter, what part of "supreme law of the land" do you not understand? If it applies only to the federal government, then it's hardly the Supreme Law of the Land, now is it? Fortunately, it IS the Supreme Law of the Land. Now if only we could get those in power to remember that little inconvenient (for them) fact.
