Smart move. Washington ought to remember that the War of the Laws was the watershed event in the collapse of the Soviet Union. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Laws http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Laws The Federal Soviet government insisted upon laws that the satellites found unacceptable, and so they broke away.

Its a necessary part of holding this nation together.
