No, he's not even right going back to the beginning. The US Constitution was from the beginning designed to be the highest controlling legal authority in the land. There is no doubt about this.
It's true that federal powers were supposed to be far more greatly constrained. That has slipped over the years. No one would deny that. But that is besides the point.
The point at issue is whether the federal government should stop the states from issuing these emergency declarations and mitigation efforts. The argument I'm on the side of is that, Yes, it should, because our basic Constitutional rights are being violated, and it is the responsibility of the federal government to protect those rights.
