I'd definitely argue "Nullifies all laws", "Overrides all laws", and "Supersedes all laws" are distinctly different. (Removing all laws, Replacing all laws with this law, Maintaining all laws but allowing them to be broken to fulfill this one. Respectively. With 'override' being the most flexible definition wise.)

Agreed.
