More Conflict between Bush and Governors:

The New York Times reports

In an unusual act of bipartisan and regional unanimity, 51 governors have joined to voice their strong opposition to legislation to let the president federalize National Guard troops in a disaster without local authorities’ consent.

The governors are objecting to a provision hidden in legislation drawn up in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, meant to speed up federal response to disasters. It should be recalled that Bush ran as a states' rights candidate in both of his campaigns.
