Look, it’s a sign of the times, that’s all. From a tiny acorn grows a mighty oak and all that. All it means, for now, is that many people are finding the current state of things to be intolerable (under either party), and they’re getting at least a little bit of a stir going in their legislatures. Even if one of these resolutions passed, the real test would be if a state tried to exercise it’s authority under it. If nothing else, it represents a little bit of pushback against the steadily encroaching federal power.

As the country crumbles there will be much more of this.

I understand what you're saying, and I consider the proposing of these resolutions to be a good sign, but the federal government is acting in destructive ways at a very fast pace. That means the States, and the People thereof, must move at least as fast. Now that these resolutions have been proposed, it's time to start passing them and then act on them.
