Apparently this has been some time in the making, but now it's being taken to the next level.

Another state telling the Federal government to check it's ego at the door. It will be interesting to see how the Federal government uses their funding leverage to try and make the 'unruly' states submit to their will.

Cease and desist indeed.

Totally agree with this statement. Did everyone see that the 7 Billion dollars given to Chrysler is not going to be paid back?
