COOPER ON COLLISION COURSE WITH GOP FROM THE START (Raleigh News & Observer) -- Eager to assert their newfound power, a bill, which specifically directed the attorney general to defend the law in court, sailed through the legislature in just a few weeks. But on the day it went to Gov. Bev Perdue, fellow Democrat and Attorney General Roy Cooper told her the legislation was unenforceable because it conflicted with federal law. Perdue vetoed it and the House was unable to muster the votes for an override. It was the first hint that Cooper’s resistance to GOP officeholders would one day become one of the defining issues in a gubernatorial campaign.
