While I do think you make an good point about state law superseding federal law, I think that this quote from the aforementioned supreme court case sums up why I feel that state have the right to now do so.
..Madison's assurance to the people of New York that the "powers delegated" to the Federal Government are "few and defined", while those of the States are "numerous and indefinite.
I don't think anyone could argue that the powers delegated to the Federal Government are "few and defined" at this point.
