New Executive Order: Council Of State Governors?

Via the Liberty Papers.

This is interesting. Council of ten Governors. Nominated by the President. Five from each party. I can only guess that someone like Charlie Crist of Florida will make the cut while Rich Perry of Texas won't on the Republican side.
