From your link;

Federal authorities have repeatedly delayed implementation of the 2005 Real ID Act, an anti-terrorism law that set stringent requirements for photo identification cards to be used to board commercial flights or enter federal buildings. The law has been stymied, in part, because about half the state legislatures have opposed its implementation, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Be interesting to find out how many of those same 20 states that are objecting to photo ids to protect against terrorism are trying to enforce the requirement for photo ids in order to vote.

States Rights has been dying bit by bit for over a hundred and fifty years and I don't see that trend reversing itself. Actually it's not states rights that's dying it's the power of the states.

States don’t have rights, only the powers allowed to them by their citizens. When our founders bound the colonies together into a nation by writing the Constitution, they made an important choice. They decided to focus on powers with regard to the new government. So they granted the federal government specific, enumerated powers. In the 10th amendment to the Constitution, they granted all remaining powers to the states and citizenry. They didn't grant the states any rights, just powers.

Well, let's take a look at just what the Supremacy Clause is:

From Wiki;
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The clause in United States Constitution’s Article VI, stating that all laws made furthering the Constitution and all treaties made under the authority of the United States are the “supreme law of the land.” Chief Justice John Marshall interpreted the clause to mean that the states may not interfere with the functioning of the federal government and that federal law prevails over an inconsistent state law.

This being the case, how are states supposed to overcome federal law?

That is exactly why the Founders provided for Senators from each individual states to gather and represent the needs and desires of their states.

They can propose and pass laws revoking federal statutes and submit them to the House for consideration.

That's the way it's supposed to work. But, not that Senators are elected by popular vote, that purpose of the Senate has been deeply diminished.
