What many don't see to know is that the EU found their primacy/supremacy through case law. They essentially decide at the time that it would be best for them to be the last arbiters in the name functionality. How convenient.

Agreed, even the EU's founding documents were necessarily agreed by fiat after rejection in referenda in France and Holland. It's not a coincidence that the EU wishes to give the superbly obedient EU Court of Justice supreme authority everywhere it can.
