We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Thanks. Very interesting. I note the absence of citations to Wisconsin State Statutes, that are mentioned only.
The law abides only the law abiding. WITS, the law delays only those deterred by the law.

And what is the point?

Preemption.
It's OK, evidently, for the State of Wisconsin to preempt ordinance, but not for the State, America, to preempt Wisconsin.

Well federal law still super cedes state laws

Please, gently, will you provide a citation to the basis, in law, for the general point, that "federal law supersedes state law"? It seems, then, that the union of sovereign states united is dead of a tyrant nation, the Obamanation.

Tenth Amenment
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The U.S. Constitution establishes a government based on "federalism," or the sharing of power between the national, and state (and local) governments. Our power-sharing form of government is the opposite of "centralized" governments, such as those in England and France, under which national government maintains total power.
While each of the 50 states has its own constitution, all provisions of state constitutions must comply with the U.S. Constitution. For example, a state constitution cannot deny accused criminals the right to a trial by jury, as assured by the U.S. Constitution's 6th Amendment.
Under the U.S. Constitution, both the national and state governments are granted certain exclusive powers and share other powers.
Exclusive Powers of the National Government
Under the Constitution, powers reserved to the national government include:
Print money (bills and coins)
Declare war
Establish an army and navy
Enter into treaties with foreign governments
Regulate commerce between states and international trade
Establish post offices and issue postage
Make laws necessary to enforce the Constitution
Exclusive Powers of State Governments
Powers reserved to state governments include:
Establish local governments
Issue licenses (driver, hunting, marriage, etc.)
Regulate intrastate (within the state) commerce
Conduct elections
Ratify amendments to the U.S. Constitution
Provide for public health and safety
Exercise powers neither delegated to the national government or prohibited from the states by the U.S.
Constitution (For example, setting legal drinking and smoking ages.)
Powers Shared by National and State Government
Shared, or "concurrent" powers include:
Setting up courts
Creating and collecting taxes
Building highways
Borrowing money
Making and enforcing laws
Chartering banks and corporations
Spending money for the betterment of the general welfare
Taking (condemning) private property with just compensation
