The FFA is for intrastate commerce while the commerce clause is for interstate commerce.

I know that the states will likely lose any challenge to laws written against federal activities. It mainly shows that the attitudes of the states to be ruled by the feds are changing.

The states with the strongest secessionist movements are Texas, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, and Hawaii. Two of those are landlocked which would be a bad thing for them if they were to attempt secession.

We may see those movements grow. Rick Perry, a couple of years ago, even used the word at one point in reference to it not being off the table.
