Do you think that Vista infringes though on states rights? I mean the 10th amendment is very clear that there are specific things that the executive branch has a purview over. And you know, There's oversight from Congress that comes into place after 48 hours [of executive action]. So I think there'll be some discussion and debate about that if the President continues to expand that to other states throughout the nation. But I'm comfortable where we're at right now.
