A state cannot independently launch an orbital satellite without approval by federal agencies.

The federal agencies in question will probably have no objections to such a launching.

That the purpose of the launch is to make a costly and perhaps pointless political gesture is irrelevant.

There have been approved launches to propel automobiles into space - why should there be any objections to this one?

Regards,

But, but, if they can launch a satellite, they could
nuke Washington from there when they declare their
independence.

California, the land of hyper tunnels, climate satellites,
fruits and nut trees, they must grow them out there.
