Federal law trumps state law no matter what side the state law takes.
Any normal judge would just say that a rule already exists to address
the issue so state level action is a waste of time and taxpayers
money.

The FCC passed juridstiction over to local/state level for enforcement.
they are well within thier rights.

But doesn't that just mean enforcing existing federal regulations? I don't
think local laws need to be passed for local enforcement of a federal law. I
could be wrong. I'm not a lawyer. :-)

It's quite obvious that you are not a lawyer. States are free to pass
any law that does not conflict with federal regulation. In this case,
the state's law compliments the federal statute, and does not come in
conflict with the federal law.
