At the federal level the policy wouldn’t be effective if limited to revenue sharing only.

Just defund any federal operation that is unconstitutional.

P.S. - You forgot to mention the 6% of the federal budget that is paid out in interest on the national debt.

Debt that was mostly incurred to fund spending on unconstitutional programs.
