"The Bill of Rights is a limitation on the Federal government, not a limitation on state or local government. "

NOT BY A LONG SHOT!

Article VI. - Debts, Supremacy, Oaths

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Get it?

I don't even know what point you're making. Everyone knows federal laws which are ruled unconstitutional are no longer laws, much less supreme.

The Bill of Rights is a limitation on the federal government. It wasn't until after the Civil War when the Supreme Court started to rule that some of the BOR also applied to state and local governments.

[FreedomCalls]

Does this phrase from the Bill or Rights: "Congress shall make no law ..." refer only to the federal congress sitting in Washington or does it really mean "The federal congress sitting in Washington and all levels of public government from the national level down through the state level all the way to county, city, and even local school boards, shall make no law..."?

When it was written it was intended to apply only to the federal congress, as a statement of the limitation of powers given by the people to the federal government, and not as a limitation of the powers retained by the states or the people.
