Article Six of the Constitution states:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
Which means the laws of the united States (that are pursuant of the Constitution and it's limits) and any Treaties made with other(s) in the world, is the supreme law of the land that Judges are bound by.
Anything mentioned in the Constitution or State Laws to the contrary (which conflict with US Laws) is notwithstanding. (in spite of; without being opposed or prevented by)So as to my understanding, if a State Law opposed or prevented the US Law, the State Law is the supreme law.
