Holding
The Supremacy Clause does not afford the United States a defense in a suit against it under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U. S. C. §2671 et seq., and the law enforcement proviso in §2680(h) of the FTCA overrides only the intentional-tort exception in that subsection, not the discretionary-function exception or other exceptions throughout §2680.
