This is an illegal compact among several states unless Congress approves.

Doesn't look like it.

Discussion of Question of Congressional Consent

Man, if you don't recognize this as an unconstitutional inter-state compact, I doubt you'd ever recognize one. This is exactly the thing that clause was intended to prevent, groups of states banding together outside the auspices of the federal government to contravene the US Constitution.

Utter nonsense. It boldly states that in order to agree that this is just hunky dory we must not read this clause literally.

That’s why we write constitutions. Because we literally mean what they say.

This is judicial activism on display.
