The quotation seems to imply that their court thinks that state constitutions must ratify the provisions of the federal constitution. This mistaken idea is probably an outcome of the fact that many state constitutions reiterate the 2nd Amendment in their own constitutional language, sometimes providing better protection. This brings to mind the unconstitutional meddling of state governments in the regulation of national elections, thinking that state electoral prescriptions supervene over the language of the federal constitution.
But this seems mainly the product of an entitled status, and Hawaii has been Democrat for a long time. And the "originals" (dare I call them "natives"?) have a grudge against the mainland U.S. as being a plague of exploiters, carpet-baggers, and squatters. It may not have been prudent national policy to annex an island nation (monarchy) far from the U.S. heartland. (An arrangement such as with Puerto Rico might have been better, but the exigencies of World War II probably obliterated that possibility.)

Please expand on this. Because Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1 states unequivocally that:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
By its terms, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, referred to as the Elections Clause, contemplates that state legislatures will establish the times, places, and manner of holding elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate, subject to Congress making or altering such state regulations (except as to the place of choosing Senators).1 The Supreme Court has interpreted the Elections Clause expansively, enabling states to provide a complete code for congressional elections, not only as to times and places, but in relation to notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices, counting of votes, duties of inspectors and canvassers, and making and publication of election returns.2 The Court has further recognized the states’ ability to establish sanctions for violating election laws3 as well as authority over recounts4 and primaries.5 The Elections Clause, however, does not govern voter qualifications, which under Article I, Section 2, Clause 1, and the Seventeenth Amendment must be the same as the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislatures.6 Similarly, the authority of states to establish the Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives does not include authority to impose additional qualification requirements to be a Member of the House of Representatives or a Senator, which are governed by the Constitution’s Qualification Clauses at Article I, Section 2, Clause 2 for Members of the House and at Article I, Section 3, Clause 3 for the Senate.7
Yes...and it is federally unconstitutional for any state government entity other than the Legislature to revise or otherwise impose requirements on what the Legislature has determined (such as by Governors, or state Election Boards, which happened significantly in 2020).
Let's see now...If incorporated towns are really just businesses, and cops are just employees of the business, what gives them any greater right to carry in public than you, driving your bread truck?
I’m amazed they actually feel this way especially after the houses of the middle class were burned to the ground.
It was deliberate-greed and control of desirable land.
They should have firebombed Honolulu instead of Lahaina

Supreme Court by definition is supreme

Shall not be infringed.
Really fucking hard to read apparently
The satanists have convinced the Hawaiians to reclaim their sovereignty. As they should, but they need to rid themselves of the satanists first.
They should reclaim their sovereignty?
All the states are sovereign in a sense, and in another sense none of them are because no secedey.
This is the same Island that told everyone to hide because North Korea was going to Nuke it. Lol
