Yes. Among the 15 states that don't have full ssm legalization:

Alabama and Kansas will continue to ignore the rulings

MS/LA/TX/NE might ignore SCOTUS

MI/OH/KY/TN/GA/SD/ND/MO/AR will likely comply with SCOTUS.

If Oklahoma didn't go the nullification route, I doubt even Alabama will.

Alabama is already on the nullification route. I highly doubt they will suddenly change just because a few more justices tell them to do so.

So far, the answer appears to be:

Yes for LA and KS
Potential Yes for TX and MS
No for all other states

Threaten to withhold federal funds for highway projects... then that will stop it.

That would not stop TX - unlike most states, TX sends more to Washington in taxes than the amount of federal funding it receives - i.e. TX does not need federal funding to survive. However, it would bankrupt AL/MS/LA/KS.

At this point, the answer is:

Yes for Kentucky, Texas, Alabama
Potential Yes for Arkansas (only 1 county is resisting thus far, so not really worthy of federal intervention)
