Bush says NO to states' rights!

According to the governors of twelve states - including Republican Governors Schwarzenegger (CA) and Rell (CT) - the federal government is blocking them from passing their own environmental protection laws! Specifically, these twelve states want to pass laws regulating tailpipe emissions.

Hark - the sound of the oil industry complaining: "Oh no, tougher pollution standards may lead to standards demanding more fuel-efficient engines, which leads to less profits for us!"

Bush has to protect his buddies, I guess... even if it means that the "states' rights" guy has to tell the states that they have no right to enact legislation that MAY prevent Big Oil from making record profits.
