    So...someone explain to me how the 2nd Ammendment says shall not be infringed yet laws are continually being passed infringing upon the arms that the people can possess? Even the prevention of certain types of knives or automatic weapons by the Federal government. Does it all fall on how some judge wants to interpret the law?

      Partly because the BIG government advocate Alexander Hamilton's interpretation of the "necessary and proper" clause of Article I, sec 8 of the Const.

      Jackie; you are basically out of luck. Even if you are a millionaire, and can hire excellent lawyers and create compelling argu ments for your position, the political views of members of the relevant court could mean that they simply refuse to hear the case. This is apparently ok for them to do. Fu*"in lawyers!!!

    Shouldn’t there just be a singular overarching law like federal laws instead of individual state laws ?

    What are the consequences for states directly violating the Constitution. Virginia

    • @avex4446
      @avex4446 4 роки тому +4

      Slongger, There is no meaningful way to "punish" the United States or a State. Officers of the federal government who fail to perform their duties as required by the Constitution may be impeached and removed from office upon conviction

    Exactly... when a state law such as mandatory quarantine or told to stay inside can clash with federal law and freedom.

    you guys contradicted yourself. you said if state and federal contradict, then federal law wins, this means that federal minimum wage would WIN over state laws, which is not the case. those 2 things directly contradict each other and state law is supreme. or atleast that's how it is across the usa.
    article 6 is talking about how constitution is above all law makers and federal and state law. it's above everything including the president. all the law makers need to pass laws that are constitutional. state or federal laws can't contradict the constitution. federal law and constitutional law are NOT the same. the constitution is above federal law, this is article 6 talking about.

    why are states passing laws that violate federal laws? like Roe vs wade?

    • @brianfisher5573
      @brianfisher5573 2 роки тому +1

      Row VS. Wade was a finding in the Supreme Court. In the judiciary, not the legislative branch that makes laws. The big mistake was leaving the right to abortion as an interpretation of law and not made an amendment to the constitution.

    In addition there are local county and city rules and regulations which have the force of law. So states, counties and cities can still create whatever they can get away with. This means you can be an honest law abiding citizen in your city, and be a felon in your county. You can also be an honest, law abiding citizen in your state and a felon in the state next door.
    Finally, a state resident cannot just invoke his Federal rights. You have to go to court, where various courts simply refuse to even hear your case!!! So, we are citizens of the U.S. and only pawns of the state government where you live. Minority opinions are totally disregarded and your only option is to move to a state where you like the state/ local laws better. You might have to give up your job, home or family to do so, but YOUR life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are secondary to the tyranny of the majority.

  • @ieatapplepiewithchopsticks7355

    After watching this you realize you don't have to be an attorney to figure out you don't have to be attorney to know that Federal Laws do NOT trump state law if the original context of constitution did not delegate certain powers to the Federal Government and reserved to the states or the people . The US Constitution is the Law of the Land and the first 10 amendments are annumerated therefore in-alienable whether you burn the constitution or not. Only time when Federal Law trumps state law and when you're willing to roll over and take up the ass.
