A "valid counterpoint" to your non-answer to the initial point? No thanks. I'll just let the record show that you didn't answer it. 'Night.
At post #206, you made your initial point:
"There's been quite a lot of misunderstanding as to the supremacy clause. It has no effect on the applicability of any of the other provisions of the Constitution."
I replied in detail, refuting your comment. -- Now you can't come up with a valid counterpoint, so you scuttle off, as usual.
'Nighty nite, don't let reality bite'.
Well, not quite. But this was the point that I was referring to, that you didn't deal at all:
tp: The supremacy clause causes the US Constitution to be binding on the State Governments.
i: Yet you've acknowledged that there are clauses that apply only to the feds despite no explicit language to that effect. Get back to me when you've figured out how to reconcile those two positions.
You only claimed that it wasn't "necessary" to answer it. I'll let the reader decide if that's true.
'Nighty nite, don't let reality bite'.
Thanks. With you, that's pretty much the last thing I have to worry about.
