I read it to mean that Medina believes the opposite. That she believes that states have the Constitutional right to nullify federal laws. And that means she has never actually read the Constitution or skipped right past Article VI.
Agreed...and the columnist disagreed with her.
And that means she has never actually read the Constitution or skipped right past Article VI.
No...it means that you're assuming the Bill of Rights doesn't exist. Article VI is limited to only the powers that the federal government actually is allowed, which is very limited and is granted at the will of The People through The States.
And as James Madison wrote: "But whilst the Constitutional compact remains undissolved, it must be executed according to the forms and provisions specified in the compact." This was written directly in the nullification correspondence with Daniel Webster and can't be ignored. And it is preposterous to suggest that the government outlined by the compact can have primacy of definition (i.e., self-definition) over those who executed the compact. That's like saying man has primacy over God, even though God is the Creator. The People are not Frankenstein with a self-defining, rampaging monster...the federal government must remain within its roles defined by the States as enumerated in the Constitution.

You worry about Kansas. We’ll take care of Texas. Otherwise we’ll be seeing you on the Red River.
