The Crooked-Nebraska Act

December 20th, 2009

THE LAST TIME WE TRIED IT

in 1854, it led to a Civil War. But I’m sure it will work out fine this time.

If, in exchange for his vote, an Evee-ill Corporation “donated” millions to a state fund to help a senator win re-election, that would be bribery, wouldn’t it?

But at least the corporation would be spending its own money, not taxpayer dollars like Harry Reid. Doc Zero:

The bill is not being examined with transparency and careful deliberation by representatives who behave as humble servants of the people and their Constitution. Instead, it’s being hastily rammed through in the dead of night, over the objection of powerful majorities of the American people, with desperate last-minute deals cut to acquire the necessary votes, financed by vast sums of taxpayer money. The primary consideration is not crafting the most sophisticated and intelligent health care reform… it’s getting a bill pushed through before angry voters have a chance to blast the Democrats out of Congress. …

The merciless and tyrannical enforcement techniques required to ensure hundreds of millions of people comply with health care reform are utterly indefensible in the service of a monstrosity stitched together from back-room deals and nine-figure bribes.

The Privileges and Immunities Clause of the Constitution, Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1:

“The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.”

If the privileged citizens of Nebraska alone are immune from Medicaid taxation forever, how does that not violate this “Comity Clause”?

Once again, the Framers knew what they were doing. And once again, we disregard them at our peril.

UPDATE: Steyn:

You can’t even dignify this squalid racket as bribery: If I try to buy a cop, I have to use my own money. But, when Harry Reid buys a senator, he uses my money, too.

    You are distorting what is happening. The citizens of Nebraska are only getting what is their due. The citizens of Nebraska are more equal than the citizens of say, Iowa, or Missouri, or California, or even Florida. They are approximately equal to Louisiana but maybe somewhat more equal than those citizens. Senator Reid as the Majority Leader of the Senate has the constitutional power to decide which state has more equal citizens and the power to apply additional dollars to such citizens. Senator Nelson has decided that the elimination of protection of living unborn citizens is worth approximately $300,000,000. These unborn citizens are apparently less equal than other citizens of Nebraska. In his capacity as Senator of Nebraska, he has the constitutional authority to designate a price that will allow him to join other Senators in allowing all citizens to participate in the financing of termination of products of conception. So please, go back to the US Constitution and read the part about Senators' rights in designating the relative equality of various classes of citizen and adjust your rhetoric to coincide with the words of that document.
