"Local Laws CANNOT supercede the BILL OF RIGHTS"

In James Madison's mind this was indeed true. However, if you think about it, the vast majority of local laws supercede the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. I'll refer you to your local zoning ordinances as a starting point. If you really want to be disgusted, pick up your local municipal code and compare it to the Bill of Rights. Your head will start spinning.......

The Village of Morton Grove, Illinois, has a local ordinance that forbids possession of a handgun inside the Village boundary---the U.S. Supreme Court denied cert.

Wanna bet? All they have to do is pack the federal benches or create another bureacracy to issue edicts by "fiat" in contradinction to the constitution. What do you think they're been doing to us? Look at what's happening in Oregon relative to water rights.
