How can a federal law, which is prohibited from being written, supersede any state law which is not prohibited? The word "Congrees" is again key.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"

The problem there is that Congress officially took authority over the states with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The states can't restrict the people any more than Congress can. Except of course the places where Congress tacitly agrees, like property taxes.
