A constitutional historian says American courts would have to overturn their
last 80 years of jurisprudence to uphold the constitutionality of the healthcare
bill in Congress.
Thirteen Republican attorneys general are threatening to file a
lawsuit against the Democrats' healthcare bill if Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid (D-Nevada) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) refuse to remove a
provision being called the "Cornhusker Kickback" -- the nearly $100 million
Medicaid deal Democratic Senator Ben Nelson secured for his home state of
Nebraska. Ostensibly, the deal was in exchange for Nelson's vote -- the 60th of
60 needed -- favoring the legislation. As reported earlier, the senator's decision has angered many
Nebraskans.
(So could this be the issue that stops the government from forcing health care down us? Lets all hope so. Read more of the above story More question legality of Senate
healthcare bill.)
