[Frumious Bandersnatch]

You can't be "supreme" or "sovereign" and have powers and rights denied to you at the same time.

Mutatis mutandis, the federal government cannot be "sovereign" or "supreme" in your usage, as long as there is a Bill of Rights.

Please don't misquote me.  I indicated that the constitution was supreme, *not* the federal government.

Nothing in the 9th or 10th says that the constitution is not supreme.  The delegated powers to the federal government cannot be infringed by the states (the feds cannot infringe on the states either).

Nothing in the 9th or 10th says that the constitution is not supreme.

Excuse me, but that isn't how it works. The Constitution lists powers delegated to the federal government by the People(s) who ratified it. It's incorrect, to turn the 9th and 10th inside out, by claiming Sovereignty (or anything else) because it isn't specifically denied.

And whether you are claiming that the federal government is Sovereign, or in your last construction, the Constitution, you can't get there by quoting the Constitution. There is no grant of Sovereignty in the Constitution, and plenty of evidence in the debate records that the ratifiers didn't want there to be one.
