From what I read Supreme Court rulings set the foundation of law in some cases , a town can exceed the law but can't go easer then a Supreme Court ruling .
I guess if some body found them selves in a bind and had money to burn with a lawyer, town ordnances could be challenged as i was reading the right so scavange is way older the the Supreme Court
