Federal law always trumps State law or state rights... as per the Constitution.

Only if they have been passed by the Congress and Congress has the power to remove them. Per the Constitution.

We are a 'Republic' you know. That means that only the Congress can create laws and Congress can remove those law too. We do not allow dictators to assume our Presidency. So it is really back to the people as our Constitution says.

You too are a twister and just use that to try to put down others. You sure don't seem to know much till someone post a thing you can rebut. Any problems with my post? No. No need for a challenge then.

I said that Federal law trumps State law... AND here is what you said... "only if they have been passed by congress "

So I simply asked you if you knew of any LAWS that were NOT passed by congress... Simple question.. do you?

There are some areas of US laws that are not from Congress and are state driven over the objections of the federal laws. The one above points to such a thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States'_rights

Current states' rights issues include the death penalty, assisted suicide, gay marriage and the medicinal use of marijuana, the last of which is in violation of federal law. In Gonzales v. Raich, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the federal government, permitting the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to arrest medical marijuana patients and caregivers. In Gonzales v. Oregon, the Supreme court ruled the practice of physician-assisted suicide in Oregon is legal.

These concerns have led to a movement sometimes called the State Sovereignty movement or "10th Amendment Sovereignty Movement".[SUP][30][/SUP]

NO you don't understand.. Federal law STILL trumps those laws... and the Fed could stop the sale of marijuana should they choose.. However the Justice Department has stated they would NOT interfer... Get a Republican in the White House and watch it stop.

A good response by someone that did not read my post. There are some states rights that still exist. I only gave you a quick shot at it. Some states rights need to be around to be a check on the federal power going out of control. These states rights were built into the Constitution but over the years some efforts have been made to remove all states rights. Not a good thing to do. Still a few left.
