Art 6 para 2. "laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding".

Which has nothing to do with the Bill of Rights.

Nice foot shot!

Which has everything to do with the Bill of Rights.

CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES,

Begun and held at the City of New-York, on Wednesday, the
Fourth of March, One Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-nine.

The Conventions of a Number of the States having at the Time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a Desire, in Order to prevent Misconstruction or Abuse of its Powers, that further declaratory and restrictive Clauses should be added: And as extending the Ground of public Confidence in the Government will best insure the beneficent Ends of its Institution,
RESOLVED, by the Senate, and House of Representatives, of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, Two Thirds of both Houses concurring, That the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States as Amendments to the Constitution of the United States: All, or any of, which Articles, when ratified by Three-Fourths of the said Legislatures, to be valid to all Intents and Purposes as Part of the said Constitution, viz.

ARTICLES in Addition to, and Amendment of, the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the Fifth Article of the original Constitution.

Yer' still stupid after all of these years Roscoe. You'd think you would at least remember this one. I've used it how many times in exactly this conversation? The BoR "applied" as part of the "Supreme Law of the Land" as soon as it was passed by Congress and ratified by the States.
