Many things would be unlawful. One example is getting your fingernails ripped off for stealing money. Another example would be the government preventing you from pracicing any religion. Many things are unlawful under the U.S. Constitution.

Which is controlling the state statute or US Supreme Court?

Trick question. That depends on the state statute and whether it is repugnant to the US Constitution or federal law in an area where the federal government asserts supremacy. If the statute falls under the penumbra of states' rights, then the statute is controlling and the US Supreme Court will (should) uphold it. If the statute is unconstitutional under the US Constitution and involves a part of the Constitution incorporated (applied) to the states, then the US Supreme Court decision is controlling. If the statute would be unconstitutional under the US Constitution, but involves a part of the constitution not incorporated to the states (for example, the Seventh Amendment), the Supreme Court will decide whether to apply the Constitution, which would then be binding on all states, or whether to allow the state statute to stand, in which case the state statute would be controlling.
