REALLY REALLY REAL MOST supreme law please step

: Here is my construction of the Supremacy Clause:

: The Constitution for the United States of America
: (aka "this Constitution"), all Laws of the
: United States (federal government), and all
: Treaties made under authority of the
: United States (federal government), shall be
: the supreme Law throughout America, despite
: anything to the contrary which may be found
: in the constitutions or laws of any Union state.
: And all state judges shall be bound by this
: same supreme Law.

: Put even simpler:

: The U.S. Constitution, federal laws, and
: federal treaties are all supreme Law.

: When there are conflicts with state
: constitutions or laws, this supreme Law
: prevails.

: All state judges are bound by the above.
