Since when? That's not how it was ratified.

Federal law is the law of the land. If states pass contradictory law, Federal law overrides.

I would argue that it is. Who would say, "We don't want anyone telling us how to worship, or searching us without cause... unless it's a State?" That's stupid. Even so, many court cases have said the States are subject to individual rights, the last one explicitly so stated being the Second in Chicago. The Third hasn't been tested, but I'd say self defense law in the home pretty much takes care of it.

I know that's a popular discussion how a lot of federal laws were never ratified by some states, but IIRC it doesn't hold up (or shouldn't) in the SC.
