On KVOR's Jeff Crank show last week, gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo announced his plan, if elected, to form a "10th Amendment Governor's Caucus," comprised of "like-minded governors" who would stand Tanc-like and "confront the federal government."

Tancredo: Right now, there is a leaked memo from the Interior Department, in which they identify millions of acres around the country that they intend, essentially, to take over. To do what Clinton did, if you remember the Escalante. Three hundred and sixty thousand of those acres are here in Colorado.

Well, I'll tell ya, if I were governor, and if they attempt that, and they are going to have to try enforce it, and they are going to meet opposition in doing so. That is a huge issue.

This is the guy who wanted civility among competing Republicans? A civility pledge? Does that civility extend to the federal branch of government?

So many questions, so little time, until the June 24 primary.
