There was a huge victory for states rights this week, care of...guess who?

....that socialist big government guy in the WH.

Obama overturned Bush's "preemption" policy that used federal regs to override and block (preempt) the enforcement of state laws on the environment, health, public safety and other issues.

One can only wonder how the "states rights" wing nuts will shoot this one down....particularly in light of a recent Supreme Court decision that questioned the Bush policy by ruling that federal preemption regs cannot and should not prevent consumers from pursuing legal recourse under state laws.
