The supremacy clause is getting its second major challenge since the Bill Of Rights was adopted. The first major challenge resulted in the Civil War. Will this get to that point? I don't think so, not because there isn't need for a drastic change, but because it just won't work for either side.

This version of the civil war will be played out in the courts. I think it will define the US for the next 2 centuries. Will the federal govt become all powerful by the use of writing tricks, or will the states regain the power they have lost little by little.
