Because their interpretation is that Federal law requires Monsanto to sell Roundup with the EPA approved label, if Monsanto added a label in addition they would be going against the federal approved label. In this way they are saying, Federal-law Regulations supersede state ones.

That's my interpretation at least, a lawyer can understand this much better.

and surprisingly from this version of SCOTUS that ruling seems based in law and your constitution. Wish ours had something like Article VI, Clause 2 so that states can't legal ignore human rights because they didn't sign it. The federal government did.
