I wish I had the money to place on ad on all major Nebraska newspapers reminding people what this traitor did and for how much he sold everyone out. The ad would run once a week until he is defeated. That way, the people in Nebraska would be reminded about what he did.
So much for the 14th Amendment.
Is this legal? I mean, couldn’t this be a denial of equal protection for residents of other states. And, why wouldn’t other senators now balk until their demands were satisfied. It can’t be a question of principle.
The people of Nebraska KNOW what he did, this is very highly visible. It’s not about them, it’s about politics. They elected a Democrat and in the end, he voted with his Party. The difference between Ben Nelson and say, Chuckie Schumer, is Nelson got something for his vote.
I’m fron Nebraska originally and when I ask people in good conservative Red states like Nebraska and Iowa why in hell they elect so-called “Conservative Democrats” like Nelson, the answer always comes down to farm subsidies. I suppose if I were a self-employed farmer with millions of dollars at risk and 100 years of family farming heritage I might be able to understand their thinking better. This is a generalization of course, and I suspect Ben Nelson may just choose to retire rather than run again, so threats of voting him out of office won’t be effective.
He voted his party line, and that’s what Democrats do.
How can they exempt one state at a time ?
