There is a lot of talk about the states in rebellion.
Such as at this link:

Or this link:

But examining the case of New Hampshire is instructive, it isn't a state in rebellion, it is just four lawmakers. In an article ridiculing the four Republican lawmakers the Nashua Telegraph editorial says "Memo to Lawmakers: The Civil War is Over."
http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090216/OPINION01/302169973/-1/OPINION04
As explained in this website the size of the New Hampshire House is limited between 375 to 400.

So four Republican house representatives are about 1% of the New Hampshire House.
So New Hampshire isn't in rebellion no matter how much Fox News might want their viewers to think so as shown in this video excerpt. http://www.thehopeforamerica.com/play.php?id=389.
I suspect that for the other 19 states supposedly in rebellion it really is just one or two stray state legislators here and there getting a little too wound up by talk radio, but it is not states in rebellion.
The weasel words here is "states legislatures are considering" or some other variant of this phrase. If just one legislator proposes a bill, a body of the legislature, such as a committee is considering it, if only to reject it immediately.
So there is not some state's rights rebellion out there.
