    Actually, state law does supersede federal law. Federal law only comes into effect when moving between states. Because a state in the classic definition is a country, not a territory of another country. In other words, each of our 50 states is a country, the country of New Hampshire, the country of Texas, the country of Arizona, and they just happen to have agreed to be underneath a bigger entity.

        Yes, we did. And at the rate the federal government is abusing the states, it would not surprise me if we find ourselves an another one. Empires rise and empires fall. Look at history for some examples.
