If the states did so they could always claim Fed taxes are unlawful as well and hang onto those as well. This should provide a bit of a buffer. Otherwise the individual states could cut aid programs until the feds gave in.
I honestly believe if the states pushed back hard enough through bills like we see noted above Congress and the president would give in for fear of another civil war/succession.
