Corrupted bureaucrats POLITICIANS and JUDGE'S over the years have made every effort to erode the Law of the Land.

 

As the federal government’s regulatory role has expanded, preemption has become a ubiquitous feature of the modern administrative state. Preemptive federal statutes now shape the regulatory environment for most major industries, including pharmaceutical drugs, securities, nuclear safety, medical devices, air transportation, banking, automobiles, and telecommunications.14 While preemption is thus a pervasive feature of the contemporary legal landscape, the Supremacy Clause’s role in modern legal doctrine differs from that of many other constitutional provisions. Preemption cases are primarily exercises in statutory interpretation—not constitutional analysis. Generally, litigants do not dispute the Supremacy Clause’s meaning or advance conflicting theories on its scope. The basic principle enshrined in the Clause—federal supremacy—is now well-settled. As a result, the Supremacy Clause does not play a central role in modern debates over federalism; those battles are instead typically fought on the terrain of the Commerce Clause, the Spending Clause, and the Fourteenth Amendment.15 Today, preemption cases ordinarily turn on the same types of issues—like the textualist/purposivist divide and administrative deference—that recur in all manner of statutory litigation.16 But the Supremacy Clause’s modern role as a background principle hardly negates its importance. Federal supremacy remains a foundational doctrine of constitutional law that undergirds much of the modern regulatory state.
