I knew someone was going to get sand in their vagina in this thread.

Of course, the power is supposed to come from the people. So lets break this down (on a very high level here).

People -> City -> County -> State -> Federal

What Brandon was asking, which relates to what you posted, means that the Federal goverment can not overtake a State's authority when it comes to matters outside of the Constitution.

Do we really need to hash this out in detail?
