I doubt very much that the current court will revive the compact theory of Federation--that is, the federalism of the Articles of Confederation.  

The court still finds the Federalist Papers authoritative.  Consult Federalist numbers Seven, Eight, and Nine to see why the alleged right of a state to secede from the Federal Union violates the fundamental purpose of the Federal Constitution.

You may also find it useful to read David Hendrickson, PEACE PACT:  THE LOST WORLD OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDING.

All best,
Kevin
