Federal law is the supreme law of the land.

AS LONG AS that federal law is PURSUANT to the U.S. Constitution, which is the Supreme Law of the Land (Art VI, Cl.2).

The Constitution trumps federal law. The Constitution is the ONLY SOURCE of authority for valid federal laws and acts. It the federal law or act is not constitutional, it is not valid, and should be rejected, resisted, and nullified by the states.

Here, the issue is federal immigration law, which authority the Constitution has delegated to the feds, so the feds are in the right and California is in the wrong.

“There is no nullification. There is no secession. Federal law is the supreme law of the land. I would invite any doubters to go to Gettysburg, to the tombstones of John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lincoln. This matter has been settled,” he continued.

I thought the whole point of our Constitution is that it limit the power of the central government to impose its will by the power of the sword.

But here is Sessions pointing to the battle field where more US citizens died in a battle in defense of the rights of men to choose their own government than any other battle fought by AmerIcans.

Thanks, Jim for clarifying that. Federal law is the supreme law of the land only where the Constitution explicitly states it is supreme.
