These are checks and balances. Before this law existed, if the federal government asked for national guard troops, the govornor and the troops could say "no", and feel they where in the right. Now, if the feds ask for troops, and the govornor says "no", the troops will feel that the federal government is in the right.
Of course, if it is your policy that "I will do whatever the government says I should do", you probably won't be bothered by this.

So where is the 'you' in there? What I see is one government agency over another government agency but the citizen has no power in there.
Now what no one asked is if I think this is needed, and I say no, not really, but its not the world comming to and end either way, the sky isn't falling.
I sometimes have to wonder is anything not a horrible disaster filled with dire consequences to the liberal mind. Its the chicken little party these days. Iraq is in civil war, and we can't win, global warming will kill us all, Bush is out to be dictator for life, vast conspiracy there, vast conspiracy here. Jebus H Christ, relax a bit.
