A note on the "supremacy" clauseBy Crippy, Section News
Michigan Senator Phil Pavlov, R-St. Clair, along with 13 other republican senators have introduced legislation that would exempt Michigan firearms and accessories from federal gun laws.
Here is a link to a story about the bill from the MLive.
Roughly three quarters of the way through the article, paragraph 12, Sen. Democratic Leader Gretchen Whitmer of East Lansing, displays that she is either a colossal ignoramus or a liar. Sen. Democratic Leader Gretchen Whitmer of East Lansing said she hoped 2013 would start off better than last year ended, but this bill suggests that might not be the case.
Article VI, Clause II of the United States Constitution states:
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, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. Jackasses, like Gretchen Whitmer and her ideological ilk, try to pass this clause off as meaning that any law the federal government passes trumps any state constitution or law. Besides being asinine on its face, what Whitmer fails, or refuses to realize, is that the supremacy clause only applies to lawful acts of the federal government pursuant to the enumerated powers in Article I, Section VIII. By applying Stare Decisis, another sometimes favorite of the globalist left, in Marbury v Madison the supreme court ruled, "...an act of the legislature, repugnant to the constitution, is void...". As such, when the federal government passes a law outside of its enumerated powers, the law is null, and not worth the paper it is printed on. Legislation similar to the bill introduced by Senator Phil Pavlov has also been introduced or adopted by other states such as Texas, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Missouri. The last time I checked, the Montana law is waiting for a ruling by the 9th circuit court of appeals. [Good luck with that. The proper remedy is for the states to tell the feds that they don't care what the federal courts rule. The federal courts have no say in unconstitutional laws.] I'm not a big fan of contacting your representative because I've pretty much lost faith in politicians at the state or federal level, but I'm going to make an exception for this one. So, if you are inclined, contact your Michigan representatives and senators.
