3 quick tidbits for you:

From Georgia from before Christmas via the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

Georgia’s Republican leadership asked the state’s attorney general Wednesday to investigate the legality of last-minute deals made in Washington to ensure Senate passage of health care reform.

In letters to Thurbert Baker, U.S. Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson and Gov. Sonny Perdue asked Georgia’s top legal authority to determine whether the vote-buying deals were unconstitutional – and financially unfair to Georgia.

The Republicans, according to Perdue’s letter, request Baker to join seven other attorneys general “to explore the availability of any legal challenges that Georgia could pursue to oppose this unconscionable scenario.”

“Congress appears to be on the cusp of making a decision that will have ripple effects for decades to come,” Perdue wrote. “Now is the time to ensure that any decision that is made has been thoroughly vetted and deemed to meet the intent and spirit of our country’s Constitution.”

And a similar situation with Connecticut’s governor coming from the Hartford Courant’s Capitol Watch Blog (and again from before Christmas):

Rell wrote a letter to Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal regarding a provision inserted into the massive federal legislation that would fully fund Medicaid for the home state of Senator Ben Nelson, a Nebraska Democrat. The provision has been widely reported as part of the many deals struck to reach a compromise on health care.

Across the country, attorneys general in at least seven states are voicing similar concerns about the Nebraska compromise and questioning its legality.

And lastly South Carolina A.G. Henry McMaster, the A.G. who has drawn America’s attention to the Nebraska Compromise told Fox News (there’s video you can watch):

“We think that represents corruption,” McMaster said during an interview on Fox News. “We’re concerned about it. It will cost 49 states money to have to pay Nebraska’s share. We think that is unconstitutional.”
