States are not going to stand up to the Feds for long if at all. The Feds will just withhold the Federal funds (medicare, Medicaid, highway. airport..the list goes on and on) every state depends on to operate.

The states have slowly lost their power to resist federal actions as they have become more and more dependent on federal funding over the last 70 years or so.

States wont secede either, and for the very same reason, both the states and a very significant portion of each states population are to dependent on federal money..

Not if the states who collect for the Feds cut off the Federal tax flow.
