"Nelson's Office Asked AGs to 'Call Off the Dogs' on Healthcare Probe
The Hill

"Call off the dogs" is the message Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson (D) sent a coalition of Republican attorneys general examining the constitutionality of the Senate's healthcare bill, according to media reports.

That request, made by Nelson's chief of staff to South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster on Thursday, arrives just days after 13 states' top prosecutors signaled they would examine the legality of the bill's Medicaid provisions, which in part won Democrats Nelson's vote.

Looks like the kitchen is too hot for Benedict Arnold Nelson!

Well well...now we will see if the AG's from the other states have the 'you know whats', to forge ahead for their state residents. If these AG's back off, every resident of those states should start screaming foul!

Absolutely! and they should call talk shows and write editors' letters. I don't think they will back off, though.
