Check out what Tom Woods has written in his book Nullifcation to see the surprising amount of times states have nullified federal laws that were not constitutional in the past.
Despite what marxist historians say, it wasn't about slavery - in fact, the confederate constitution specifically forbade nullification - but Wisconsin did nullify the Fugitive Slave Act. The northeastern states nullified a rumored attempt to institute a draft. The Alien and Sedition Acts were also nullified.
To paraphrase what Jefferson said, how ridiculous is it to expect a dispute between an individual or a state and the federal govt to be determined by the federal govt? That is why states and citizens have the duty to nullify laws that are not constitutional.

I'm a Texas resident & I'll volunteer without pay to be deputized & help enforce that law.
