For over twenty years, the federal government has refused to enforce
border laws. As a result, many millions of illegal aliens are in the
USA 80 percent of which are from Mexico.

Now, states are taking action to arrest and remove illegals. However,
the feds say that immigration is their purview and that states have no
right to deal with the immigration issue.

Our founding fathers stated that "states rights" are greater than the
power of the federal government. Thankfully, the USSC will soon rule
on this issue and its already being stated that states will be
acknowledged as having the power to protect their citizens from the
effects of illegal immigration; This will mean that each state will
be able to deal with illegals rather than waiting on the feds to act.

[Re: Arizona v. United States:]

Constitutional experts estimate that the outcome will be 6 to 2, in
favor of the United States of America against the Fractured States of
America.

Our Founding Fathers did not say state rights are superior to federal power.

Article VI, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, known as the
Supremacy Clause, establishes the U.S. Constitution, U.S. Treaties, and
Federal Statutes as "the supreme law of the land." The text decrees these to
be the highest form of law in the U.S. legal system, and mandates that all
state judges must follow federal law when a conflict arises between federal
law and either the state constitution or state law of any state.

Even the CSA had the same clause in its constitution.

The states are a more basic entity whereas federal government is an
agreement between the states designed to form a more perfect union
among them, however, that union never trumps the power of the states
when brought into question. In other words, the federal government
can be brought to an end and restarted / reconstructed by the states
at any time because it is simply an agreement between the states to
which they voluntarily submit.

If the federal government fails in some role that according to the
agreement, it should take care of, then should the states have no
power to affect change themselves? Are they stranded, powerless to
affect the issue that in this case, harms the citizenry of that
state? Of course not. We the People are greater than both the states
and the federal government. If both the states and the federal
government fail us, we have the right to end the existence of each,
and start over again, formulating each as we so desire.

Therefore, states are more fundamental than any agreement that forms a
central government, and individuals are those who formulate the
states, and then a federal government, and it is they who are the most
fundamental and they have the ultimate power.

Now the question, is Tracey a coward or just stupid? Well, actually,
it's both!

What Tracey can't do is cite any SC case, any law or any part of the
constitution that shows he is right. That's a big problem.

The last discussion of states rights was either the Civil War, states
rights scum lost, or the civil rights protests, states rights scum
lost. See the difference? I can cite things like Brown v. Board of
Education that ended school desegregation, a right the state of
Arkansas thought they had. Thank goodness the state of Arkansas was
corrected on that one.

Now, Tracey, how many laws are you willing to change to gain your
states rights?

Where did you get that legal theory? The federal supremacy clause in the
constitution makes it clear who’s in charge. The Civil War was fought over
this issue.

Don't listen to either of them...Tracey just wants Texas to legalize
man-child sex, and Patriot hopes his state will ban everything HE
doesn't like.

Would you mind quoting the pertinent parts of the Constitution to
support that statement?

Bearing in mind that many "founding fathers" were slave-owners whose
original intentions have been superseded by more progressive descendants
of the early colonists, I would dearly like to see exactly which texts
you think relevant.

You are correct that Progressives have worked tirelessly against the
concept, preferring instead a centralized system closer to their ideal of
communism.

Indeed...

(3) What party is trying to wipe its ass with it?

Given that you're a left wing Latino, we pretty much know your answer.

As an exercise, read the party platforms of the Democrat Party, the party
platform of the CPUSA, and the Communist Manifesto. Explain to us the
differences.

I am socially liberal, economically conservative. One of my respected
institutions is the US Chamber of Commerce, hardly commie.

What the Chamber says is -by definition- the opposite of communism.

That would be Number 10:

"Federalist No. 10, in which Madison discusses the means of preventing
rule by majority faction and advocates a large, commercial republic,
is generally regarded as the most important of the 85 articles"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_Papers

> (2) What does it say?

[James Madison:]
"measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice
and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an
interested and overbearing majority."

http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa10.htm

The Father of The Constitution successfully argued against a crappy
democracy in favor of a REPUBLIC.

> (3) What party is trying to wipe its ass with it?

Arizona, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia: Jim Crow states that -non
coincidentally- are punished, prevented to this day from changing a
comma in their electoral laws without previous approval by the Federal
branch.

I reviewed the thread, and can't really see the cause of your complaint.
Perhaps you've confused me with someone else?

But the efforts against the will of the people being enacted by their
elected representatives is not what we would call "Federalist"

So is there a point in your contradiction"

And what of the municipalities which declare themselves "sanctuary
cities", how does that fit?
