Nothing in this Act should be construed to preempt or supersede the laws of any State with respect to its authority to define and enforce the criminal law of that State, or with respect to any power reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, or with respect to the rights guaranteed to each citizen, under the Constitution of the United States. This Act does not annul, alter, or affect, or exempt any person subject to this Act from complying with, the laws of any State, except to the extent that those laws are inconsistent with the provisions of this Act.
This Act shall not in any way abridge or alter the remedies now existing at common law or by statute, but consistent with subsection (d)(2) of section 6, the provisions of this Act are in addition to such remedies. If any provision of this Act, an amendment made by this Act, or the application of such provision or amendment to any person or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of this Act, the amendments made by this Act, and the application of the provisions of such to any person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.
