Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) reached out Thursday evening to South Carolina GOP Attorney General Henry McMaster, the leader of a group of 13 Republican state attorneys general who are threatening to file suit against the Senate health care bill, and urged him to forgo any legal action, POLITICO has learned.
According to a copy of a memo sent by McMasters chief of staff to other GOP state attorneys general detailing the call, Nelson asked McMaster to call off the dogs, a reference to recent threats by the state AGs to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a Medicaid provision in the bill that benefits Nebraska at the expense of other states.

Why?
Because you are afraid you my have done something UNCONSTITUTIONAL???????????
The question is will the lizard king be able to appoint another RAT to SCOTUS before it winds up in their laps.

Well AGs I’m sure like being reffed to as a pack of DOGS.
But once the hunting dogs are loose they search until they find the prey.

all added expenses from expanding Medicaid to cover the uninsured in Nebraska starting in 2017 would be borne by the federal government forever, not split with the state as they are now.
Going after this backdoor deal should kill this whole thing. If you have to add everything you expected the states to pick up it should be a deal breaker.

The document goes on to say: Senator Nelson said it would be fixed by extending the Cornhusker Kickback (100% federal payment) on Medicaid to every state. And the Dims would still claim Obamacare would not increase the deficit, with all their lies and creative accounting.

Yep. Show what a rookie Clown Reid is. By telling Nelson that Nebraska wouldn't have to pay a dime, maybe he thought the other 49 States wouldn't notice.
Reid is an absolute fool and now Nelson is too. Putzes.

Nelson needs to watch who he’s calling “dogs”.
