It is a matter of jurisdiction.
The federal gov has jurisdiction on federal territories, property (ports, military bases etc) and anywhere a state has ceded or partially ceded jurisdiction, and in the case certain matters specified in the Constitution.
On an issue where the federal gov claims or has has usurped jurisdiction unlawfully (via an erroneous Supreme Court ruling for example) if enough state governors, back by their legislatures, simply called their bluff I doubt that there would be an actual conflict of force. Unfortunately most state govs capitulated to too much a long time ago.
I do not think though that it would take more than a half dozen states to get a backbone, and things could be back on track again. Better would be a pres that would do the right thing with pen strokes from his Office.
