Yes, but let me show you something that trumps that.
The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution:
'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.'
Most of the 'laws' on the books are illegal. THe 4th amendment includes all of government, even administration. All government. Only private companies hiring private people can require ID checks, but government can not.
Wow man, you are a true progressive. The Constitution trumps all other laws.
And you want to bring up case law? Where is case law the law? Case law is NOT the law, never has and never been. If you follow case law it came up form the early 1900's by progressives to go ahead the Constitution and other laws. If you follow cases that claim case laws you will see people breaking laws on the books BUT that judges ruled with case law nulling the crime that had taken place. If a judge rules that a murder murdered someone for the heck of it but rules him innocent for some reason reason (maybe dad molested him) that then creates case law to let murderers off. Yes this is a very extreme example but it is what case law can do.
Just wow, you think the Constitution isn't the supreme law of the land. It is nothing trumps the constitution.
