I say the same of the State of Mississippi. I only hope that Gov Barbour will assert states’ rights in opposition to us footing the bill for Nebraska or any other state getting this sweetheart deal for their senator’s vote. I don’t know how that would work in practice, but the principle is certainly there. It’s not as if every state has to pay, Nebraska from what I understand just got the best deal. From what I understand a couple more states have gotten similar deals. So I don’t know why other states wouldn’t be perfectly within their rights to refuse to take up the slack for them.
Time for Texas, too, to tell the fed gov’t to go to hell.
