Of COURSE the Constitution says that it and federal laws are the supreme law of the land! It would be absurd for the Constitution to say otherwise.

But when the federal government abuses its powers, or usurps powers, the states have the right to resist.

If the federal government is wise enough to back down, good.

If the federal government is wicked and stupid enough not to back down, the people have the right to “alter or abolish it,” as some kook right-wing nutcase in the 18th Century put it.

Love how you put that. I made the exact same point earlier. We The People have the right and the duty to defend ourselves and our way of life against a government that has clearly become despotic.

If Congress should pass the Obamacare treason bill, you can bet that it will trigger a historic battle -- maybe even one with The People on the front lines.
