He could at least publicly acknowledge that his states rights are being raped by the federal government. He can also denounce the DEA's actions. This will not change much except make people more aware of the abuse their state is taking. He did a similar thing when California passed new energy laws and the feds said that auto makers do not have to follow them. Arnold sued the EPA for overstepping their boundaries.
