According to an article from Truthout today, several states are challenging the federal government's indeterminate commitment of their National Guard Units deployed in war zones. The right of the executive branch to federalize these units then tie the hands of the legislature by allowing war to be declared but not halted is being questioned as are several other suppositions left hanging by the schizophrenic policies of the previous administration, including the constitutionality of such actions. It would appear that the first hundred days will only be the beginning of the janitorial duties the Obama administration must engage in before it can get down to developing its own policies.
