“The Supremacy Clause is not a mandate for the total supremacy of federal law. It limits federal supremacy to those objects falling within the federal government's delegated powers but not one bit beyond them.
“Alexander Hamilton interpreted federal powers broadly, but in Federalist #33 he wrote that, although federal laws must be supreme, "it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the larger society which are not pursuant to its constitutional powers but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such." The Supremacy Clause, he said, "expressly confines this supremacy to laws made pursuant to the Constitution."

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
