It is convoluted but it is also "the law".
It may be "the law", but it is also illegal, i.e. in violation of the Constitution - of which Montana apparently has a few well-thumbed copies.
Any tyrant can enact a law. Whether it'll stand enforcement is another question.

It’s stood up for almost 70 years, unfortunately.

I’m with you. The idea that Wickard v Filburn has any bearing on this case assumes that the Supreme Court is the highest law of the land. That IS the leftists/statists’ assumption, but it doesn’t have to be ours.
The state legislature simply has to say that federal laws will not be enforced in this manner, then back it up with countering any attempt to use force to enforce those laws with local law enforcement arresting the fed enforcement agents.
