If a state law is in conflict with a national law, a state judge must uphold the national law, as the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution establishes that federal law takes precedence over state law. This means that the state law is invalid to the extent of the conflict. The judge may rule the state law unconstitutional or unenforceable in that specific instance.
