Ahh, federalism.

the relationship between the federal government and the states (this should be fairly current--say within 2006).
1. Sumarize the story

2. Explain what this tells you about the fed/state relationship.

key words you might try if nothing comes to mind: federal lands dispute, state marijuana laws, No Child Left Behind Act, Federal block grants, Endangered Species Act,
FEMA and New Orleans, States and Homeland Security etc...
