Is there NO buffer that the states have against tyrannical fed government? Can’t governors band together and refuse this dictatorial act?

Sure there is. A state can stand on the 10th Amendment to the Constitution and refuse to be subjugated by this tyrannical act. In fact, if this makes it through the Senate (which isn't certain), you can expect a rash of states to do just that, starting with the state of Texas.

Failing that, a small number of states could declare that they are seceding from the union, and that would put an immediate end to the federal government's abuse of power over all the states.

And in Texas we have just the Gov to do it too. He’s already spoken the word. I’ve read if we go, so does LA and OK.
