State laws never supercede federal laws, but there is obviously (at least if the Constitution means anything) SOME restrictions to federal authority. Of course, these restrictions have being going away, piece by piece, since the country started.
The problem, on both sides, is just that people form their opinion about what should be a state issue based on the activity being regulated. When that happens, there's more and more "exceptions" to the constitution, until that distinction between what we want and what is legal is completely destroyed.
