Governor Perry was on our floor this AM for a photoshoot -- Newsweek was taking advantage of our magnificent view of the Capitol, so intrepid Bureau chief Hoppe took advantage of the situation to ask him if he'd call a special session to nullify healthcare:
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry tamped out rumors today that he would call a special legislative session to consider whether Texas should seek to exempt itself from federal health care law.
Harris County Republican Chairman Jared Woodfill has circulated a petition in hopes of prompting Perry to call a 30-day special session to consider "nullification" as it relates to health care. Nullification is a largely untested legal theory which holds that states can ignore federal mandates that they feel constitutionally overreach.
I grabbed a camera -- the verite style just tells me I gotta cut way back on the coffee...
I got a nice screenshot of the governor, though:
