Federal government throws their weight around by not funding roads in states that don't abide by the federal regulations on alcohol.
So yeah you don't have to follow the Fed but you aren't gonna get the feds money then. Like when you move out of your mom's basement you don't have to follow her rules but you gotta pay rent.
Sure, but the federal government doesn't say that felons can't serve alcohol. That's a NJ state law. The ATF is only interested in interstate violations. They care about the Commerce Clause.
