Oh...and the "Supremacy Clause":
The Supremacy Clause is a clause in the United States Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2. The clause establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and U.S. treaties as "the supreme law of the land." The text establishes these as the highest form of law in the American legal system, mandating that state judges uphold them, even if state laws or constitutions conflict.
Supremacy Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virginia has a very weak argument and, IMO, purely political on Cuccilleli's part.
Nope...the ones with legal standing are the "injured" persons....but can they claim they have been injured before the provisions of the law in question are imposed in 2014?
