Glad to be back.
The answer to the OP is no because the people of this Union and the States seem to forget what it is. The United States in a voluntary union of States (sovereign nations). Each State is just that a State, a nation unto itself. The federal government was put into place not to rule and crush the States but to provide for mediation between the States and to provide for the common defense of all States.
It is kind of like the EU, each State belongs to itself and is self governing but they have come together for the common good.
