If a Federal laws constitutionality is challenged let the U.S. Supreme Court handle it.
The only way to get the USSC to hear a case is a case must be filed / action taken
What Tenn is essentially proposing by their suggested boycott (a great idea IMO) is to get the Feds to sue them. Unfunded mandates are a good start. Let the Feds sue.
Then, going through the Fed Court system to the USSC.
Its only a matter of time before there are tons of lawsuits to stop the growth of the federal government...
All it takes is one win by the states, and there will be an eruption of lawsuits filed.
If we want to expound upon this, I wonder how many liberal programs can/will be challenged vs the number of conservative ones, especially considering that all welfare programs are supposed to be at the state levels.
Once the federal government announces the withholding of federal funds to the state in reaction to the boycott, Tennessee will fold like their football team did at New England.
Good. They can start with those atrocious "hate crime" laws, which is really nothing more than punishing people for thinking the wrong things, and "hate speech" laws which violates people's right to free speech.

I disagree. Years ago - Arizona fought the 55 mph mandatory speed limit. The Feds said "no more highway funds". We said Fine.
Arizona was the state that got rid of the 55mph
States are going to stand up for the citizens rights as they should.
And, if a majority of the states start fighting back - the FEDs will fold.

So you think its ok for the feds to violate the Constitution, provided they send the states enough money?
Why do these Red States need a "joint working group"?
If they Fed acting unconstitutionally then then each State has standing to bring their suit to the Supreme Court.
But they are not doing that. Why? .............Because they have no case.
