Montana's governor just signed a law that exempts firearms manufactured in the state for residents from federal regulations.

Texas Governor Rick Perry affirmed Texas' sovereignty last week, and then created an uproar when he hinted the possibility of secession:

We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that.

Mirroring a Congress that passed a nearly trillion dollar stimulus bill without reading it, the Georgia Senate passed a bill affirming states rights and rather stupidly pronounced a right to secede over inconsequential, trivial matters.

Montana, Texas and Georgia are not alone in their disgust, as 30-percent of state legislatures are in some stage of debate over resolutions challenging a power-hungry federal government.
