A friend and I were discussing this, in reference to health care, and I couldn't remember a specific example that would definitively answer this for me.  I feel like this is something I should know, but I honestly can't remember.

Lawrence vs texas is a good example, and normally state law is fine just as long as it does not violate the constitution.
