But it doesn't and never has.

These stupid judges are idiots and making it up as they go along.

The stench from the bench makes me clench.

True enough -- But this is an interesting case in that the supremacy clause only extends to laws pursuant to the constitution, and today it's commonly held that any federal law trumps a state law because of that, but this is an entirely different beast where the state law contradicts the federal constitution. It might pave the way for some interesting legal fights, especially those that are targeting federal overreach.

That's what's been happening for years now, even on the USSC. I think the biggest culprit is how 'precedence' is enshrined, to the point that positions that are directly contrary to the constitution are held as valid. (And then there's always the judges who 'forget' about precedent that doesn't support their positions.)
