Walt, the supremacy clause (Article VI, second paragraph) says "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 shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or the Laws of any States to the contrary notwithstanding."
This does not say that the Federal government is supreme. It states that the Constitution shall be supreme. The Federal government is more subject to the provisions of the US Constitution than the States are (because of the IX & X Amendments).
Respectfully,
D J White
Thank you for pointing out another example of Walt's disregard of the Constitution. To say that the Federal Government is supreme, in spite of the clear text in Article VI, is exactly what I'd expect from such a Tory. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't claim to be such an authority on the Constitution. Now would be a good time to remind the readership that Walt is the one who claims that Lincoln understood the Constitution better than Davis !
