Nothing in this section 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 to any citizen as a right, under the Constitution of the United States. This section does not annul, alter, or affect, or exempt any person subject to this section from complying with, the laws of any State, except to the extent that those laws are inconsistent with the provisions of this section, and then only to the extent of the inconsistency.
This section shall not in any way abridge or alter the remedies now existing at common law or by statute, but consistent with subsection (d)(3)(B), the provisions of this section are in addition to such remedies. If any provision of this section or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of this section, or the application of that provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, is not affected thereby.
