"Do you have a problem when a majority of voters pass laws in their own state, Mr. Federalist? "

Not if they're constitutional laws. Do you support voters in a state passing unconstitutional laws, Mr. Anarchy?

"Do federal laws trump state laws, Mr. I-Don't-Know-or-Care-About-The-10th-Amendment?

Every time. It's called the Supremacy Clause, found in Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.

Please point to the area of the constitution that says that all laws passed by the voters in a state are unconstitutional.

Please point to the area of the constitution that specifically bans the use of marijuana for any purpose, medical or otherwise.

Please point to the court decisions that say that all medical marijuana laws are unconstitutional and as such are null and void. IN EVERY STATE THAT HAS PASSED SUCH LAWS.

Every time. It's called the Supremacy Clause, found in Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.

I see.

Then what is the point of including the 9th and 10th Amendments into the constitution if Article VI says that the federal government is the supreme law of the land?

Getting back to the topic of this thread, who do you support, Dopey Dornan or Doper Dana?
