"This clause clearly designated "local welfare" specific to Nebraska. It should be immediately challenged by Republicans before Nelson votes, so that he knows that he'll be getting none of the pork promised him once the bill is challenged in the Supreme Court. "

Nelson's not an idiot. He knows he won't get a dime of those funds. This is all a charade so he can sell his vote back home, nothing more.

You are correct! I believe Nelson was the State AG before he was a Senator. He knows he has to feign caring about the citizens back home while he supports the dem socialist agenda.
