Just to be clear, if SCOTUS overturns a law, such a law does not "disappear"; if SCOTUS would reverse itself in the future, that law would automatically "kick in" again. Still, I am trying to find an instance here in the last 50 years where SCOTUS overturned a federal law granting a civil right in favor of a state law that suppressed that right.
