If the states are united are they going to arrest 35 or 40 governors and huge swaths of state legislatures? That will go over real good with the public. This would be devastating public nightmare for the feds and display their blatant contempt for the Constitution and state governments.

It works both way with the leviathan. If you refuse to do business with gov. agencies what are they going to do then seize businesses our right? Sounds rather soviet in nature.

The states can hang together or hang separately to steal a quote from a founding father.

I think that was the point I was trying to make. If 35-40 stats refuse they can hold the line. If it is just Texas then yes they can arrest one Governor and one attorney general. In this case there is absolutely strength in numbers. I hate to keep using prohibition but is the most recent example where the Fed actually relinquished power. In that case it was not just one or two states calling for repeal, but every state in the union. Or at least the vast majority.
