no, you're notI am just following the Constitution which you ignore when convenient
what you are FAILING to take note of, and the government appreciates your support in, is that the feds only have the power that the states AND the people have given them. you're adopting the premise that the feds allocated certain powers to the states, which is wrong."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 in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." [Article VI, clause 2]
The supremacy clause makes the U. S. Constitution superior to state constitutions, not me. I don't understand why you argue about the Constitution since you obviously disagree with most of it. When somebody proves you are wrong based on case law, you simply say that case was "wrong."

the ONLY superiority that the US Constitution has is of those powers given to it by the states and the people. READ THE CONSTITUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The federal government has the power delegated to them by the Constitution; otherwise, there is no purpose for Article I, Section 8, which lists the powers of Congress. The states did not give the federal government any of those powers--they come from the Constitution. I never said the fed delegated any power to the states, those come from the reserved powers of the Constitution. The powers of the federal and state governments all come from the Constitution and state constitutions and laws.
I have read the Constitution. I saw nothing in there about any powers given the federal government by the states--perhaps you can cite that provision for me.
And, there are no powers given the federal government by the people that are not included under the delegated (and implied) powers.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
That is not an example of the states giving any powers to the federal government. The Constitution grants powers to the federal government and those not delegated exclusively to the feds (treaties) may be exercised by the states unless prohibited by the denied powers in Article I, Section 10. The Constitution is the source of power for both the federal government and the states--the states do not grant power to the feds.
you're ignoring the actual history of HOW the constitution was written.
first there were we the people. we created our 'states' and gave them powers via state constitutions. THEN, we created the federal government and GAVE them powers, both from we the people AND from powers that our states originally had.
i'm really surprised that this very simple concept is so hard for most people to accept.......is it the inherent brainwashing you've received that the federal government created the united states?
This is bad history and completely leaves out the Articles of Confederation. The people did not create the states--most were created by royal charter or similar method.
