call for an examination of Obamacare’s constitutionality.
He joins Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and others in calling for an examination of Obamacare’s constitutionality in light of a deal made with a Nebraska US Senator to exempt that State from having to bear Obamacare’s financial burden.
Here’s the press release:
SAM OLENS MAKES OFFICIAL REQUEST TO GEORGIA AG TO REVIEW CONSTITUTIONALITY OF H.R. 3590
For Immediate Release : Cobb County/December 23, 2009 – Cobb County Commission Chair and candidate for Attorney General Sam Olens has submitted a letter to Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker requesting that he join with the Attorney Generals of South Carolina and at least six other States, to review the constitutionality of H.R. 3590, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
With the final deal assuring Senator Ben Nelson’s vote, all newly eligible Medicaid enrollees from Nebraska would be permanently treated differently than those from the other 49 States. While Medicaid is a joint federal-state program, the Nebraska Compromise provides for a permanent exemption to his State alone. Said provision appears to violate the U.S. Constitution as all states would not be uniformly treated the same with this new tax.
“It is a felony to buy votes in this country. That same prohibition must apply to our legislators. All legal options must be considered and applied to stop this outrage.
“Georgians cannot afford the many new taxes associated with this bill, let alone a special provision that lets us pay for citizens of another state, stated Olens.
