There's a hierarchy when it comes to the law, and several methods of determining which controls when laws conflict. In this case, the argument is that this portion of the ACA (a federal law) is either outweighed by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (another federal law) or the Constitution (THE law of the land). Due to this 5-4 decision, there was no circumventing of the federal law after all.
