Beg forgiveness, not permission when dealing with feds, says AR gov.

[Dave Ridley]

"I found that it's easier to get forgiveness than permission when dealing with the federal government. And often governors have to take the bull by the horns and take care of needs and focus on people, not paperwork. We really do need to rethink the idea of putting FEMA under the overall banner of Homeland Security. I know that may be sacrilege within some corners of my own party, but it just isn't working like it ought to be working."

Huck is a pretty good guy, but he hasn't been afraid to use to state to ride roughshod over local control. After he lost a lot of weight and got healthy, the state started requiring mandatory weigh-ins for school kids, with warnings sent home to parents of those deemed overweight.

He should nullify all federal unconstitutional actions (meaning everything except for post office these days).
