Washington Examiner:  A law phasing out incandescent light bulbs beginning in 2012 has prompted some states to challenge the reach of federal government.

Pennsylvania and South Carolina have legislation pending to exempt their states from the regulations. And Texas has already passed a bill purporting to nullify the government regulations within their state. Arizona’s Republican governor, Jan Brewer, vetoed a similar bill last year.
