How does the Supremacy Clause affect US judges?

Answer 1

B)The Supremacy Clause states that no judge can contradict federal laws.

The Supremacy Clause is a clause in Article VI of the United States Constitution. This Clause commands that federal law is the "supreme law of the land." This law implies that authorities in each state should adhere to the Constitutional laws and treaties of the federal government in the affairs which are indirectly or directly under the government's control.

They cannot decide judgment according to the rules or Constitution of the State, but their judgment should be in accordance to the laws and treaties of the United States.
