that states laws cannot be more restrictive?


I said no such thing. State law can always be more restrictive than
federal law, but it may never permit what federal law restricts. I said
federal law always supercedes state law. If a state law permits it,
(such as medicinal pot) and the federal law restricts it (such as
telephone tampering and wiretapping), the federal law wins every time,
unless, of course, a state chooses to secede and avail itself of all
federal monies and benefits it receives.
