An Appellate Court is not (usually) the Court of original jurisdiction. So, in many cases you would start at a Federal Trial Court (District Court) and would have a normal trial. If you lost, you could appeal to the Appellate Court, who would review the record (only) from the Trial Court for clear error, bias, etc. A new trial does not occur at the Appellate Level, unless it is a court of original jurisdiction.

The supremacy law that establishes the federal government establishes that the state governments must be subordinate to the federal authority. In line with this law, whenever the interests of the federal government collide with those of state governments, the interest of federal government shall always supersede.
