The legality of bills like Virginia’s is questionable because courts generally rule that federal laws supersede those of the states.

The bill’s sponsor, Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William, and other supporters advocated the measure as a defiant statement to an overreaching federal government. They say it falls under the Constitution’s 10th Amendment that deals with state sovereignty. Marshall said he expects the law to be challenged and ultimately decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Well if it is challenged and goes to the supreme court I’m certain they will be glad to move favorably after BO insulted and made a show of them at the SOTU address. Might be a nice pay back! tsk tsk...of course they would follow the letter of the laws...perhaps define them a little more carefully.
