The income tax amendment and the interstate commerce clause makes it moot.
The interstate commerce clause allows the federal government to control a great deal. And with the income tax amendment, the federal government can take money from the states and withhold it, unless the state does what is required by the federal government. The state won’t get that money back unless the state cooperates.
Arguable? Well ok, but still in all, the states, if they elect to, could reclaim their rights guaranteed by our Constitution with the stroke of a pen -- more or less.
“And with the income tax amendment, the federal government can take money from the states...”
Actually it takes money from citizens of the states.
“...and withhold it, unless the state does what is required by the federal government. The state wont get that money back unless the state cooperates.”
If the Federal Government is limited to the powers delegated through the Constitution by the States, what would the States have to cooperate with that they wouldn’t?

what if an entire state refused to pay federal income taxes?
