Nothing is going to happen. The courts will simply dismiss it saying federal law trumps state law.

The fight is over.

What about if 2/3 of the states convene a Constitutional Convention? And 3/4 of them ratify it?

http://www.usconstitution.net/constam.html

The Constitution, then, spells out four paths for an amendment:

Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state conventions (never used)

Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state legislatures (never used)

Proposal by Congress, ratification by state conventions (used once)

Proposal by Congress, ratification by state legislatures (used all other times)

The courts won’t “simply sat federal law trumps state law.” Because the challenge will be that the federal law is unconstitutional. So first the courts will find some way to torture the constitution and say that the law is constitutional, then they will say it trumps state law.

Nope, it ends up on the Rocket Docket to SCOTUS. Its a constitutional issue, that’s the venue.
