Klein) Distribution: na Organization: Athena Information Systems Lines: 20 I find it hard to understand why people do not understand the meaning of 'supreme law of the land.' For the uneducated, the scope of a treaty is defined in Article VI, paragraph 2 of the United States Constitution. As for `All men are created equal,' that is from the declaration of independance, and is not a part of a document within the body of American law. The rights of Wisconsin Native Americans are defined by treaty. A treaty is the 'law of the land... laws of the state not withstanding.' Wisconsin is subject to the Constitution. Wisconsin (and it's citizens) have no right to break the treaty. If you claim otherwise, you are an enemy of the Constitution! -- : jtk@lakesys.lakesys.com : "He is a dreamer; : -- Joseph T.
