Is there a specific, written source for that?  For example, say two
neighboring states (say, California and Nevada) allowed some substance
(drugs, stem cells, certain advanced-tech machines, whatever) to be
freely and openly possessed by their citizens in a way that the feds
had surrendered jurisdiction over, but where the feds did make it a
crime to transport it over state lines.  Possession and transport would
not be a crime on either side of the line, so the states might object
to feds' attempt to regulate it at their mutual border (even if they
did not protest enforcement at other borders, if the other states were
less permissive on this issue).  What part of the legal code would
allow the states to treat enforcement (and the necessary blockade or
delay of traffic) as an act of war by the federal government upon the
two states?
