Now 9 states are gonna sue over the Nelson equal protection thingy, those AGs must be reading my posts here. Another try Several state attorneys general are now going to challenge the health care overhaul on constitutional grounds, although they plan to single out the deal that Sen. Ben Nelson, Nebraska Democrat, secured for his state, the Republican Party argues, at the expense of taxpayers in other states. "The Nebraska Compromise, which permanently exempts Nebraska from paying Medicaid costs that Texas and all other states must pay, may violate the U.S. Constitution as well as other provisions of federal law," Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said. Mr. Abbott, a Republican, says he is working with attorneys general in nine other states and will be conducting strategy meetings next week. Mr. Abbott told the Associated Press in a phone interview that if what he calls "the Nebraska Compromise" is permitted to stand "then there are really no limitations on actions that Congress can take where literally they're taking taxpayer dollars from one state and giving it to another."
