Some critics are up in arms over what they call the “Beverly Hills carve-out.”

"Even Reform voters will be up in arms about the idea," Hendry predicts.

“The citizens in those cities would be up in arms. They would be aghast that there are soldiers patrolling their streets.”

It's no surprise then that when Italian luxury brand Prada released a new line of footwear that bore a striking resemblance to the Kolhapuri sandals - but didn't mention the design origins - local artisans were up in arms.

Their visas were revoked, and critics scoured their past performances for further things to get up in arms about.
