Nebraska can’t recall Nelson. The recall process must go through the State Senate first and then be put on the ballot for recalls in the future.
Nelson knows he’s toast here in Nebraska and will vote against the healthcare scam when the final bill comes back to the Senate. Sorry Ben, you could have been a hero, but instead, you’re a zero.

You can’t recall a senator or congressman. It would violate the 17th amendment.

TTheoLogan on December 29, 2009 at 5:37 PM

That’s my understanding as well. I believe some state constitutions allow for the recall of ‘elected officials’ but this is generally interpreted as those elected to state offices. There was an attempt earlier this year by some clergy in New Orleans to start a recall effort against Congressman Nao (sp?) and I remember reading an ariticle that said as much.
However, I don’t see how the 17th Amendment is applicable. It determines the method of the election of Senators. Does it mention recall?

Maybe these numbers will scare some sense into the likes of Jim Webb…

parteagirl on December 29, 2009 at 11:15 AM

There is no hope for Jim Webb or Mark Warner. They have both shown their true colors. Recall is the only answer. Unfortunately in VA that involves a judge. Couldn’t hurt to start now and keep him tied up legally until 2012. These two are as arrogant as ever. Same with Nelson. I sure would love to know how it can be done. Waiting for November seems way too long for retribtution. I am not a patient person.

Come 2012, Nelson will have voted “no” on the final bill, since they need only 51 votes. And the people will say “He is good because he voted against it”…and he will be re-elected….unless, Nebraskan’s make a bold move and issue a recall petition.
Yes, there is no recall officially, but un-officially you recall him and keep it in the news…

right2bright on December 29, 2009 at 3:27 PM

Not going to work this time. Too many people are paying attention to this and too many people are aware now that voting for cloture is effectively a vote for the bill itself.

What’s really going to happen is this – as these poll numbers continue for Ben (particularly after the wave election coming in November 2010), sometime in 2011 Ben will decide to retire to “spend more time with my family.”

Politically, he’s done. Stick a fork in him.

Nelson may think in for a penny in for a pound of flesh. Or he may believe that his individual political career may be sacrificed for the greater good of perpetual democrat control of government and the sacrifice of liberty to government control that this monstrous health care deform legislation and cap and trad would accomplish. It’s no wonder democraps gave aid and comfort to kamikazi operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, since that now appears to be their modus operandi in crafting legislation.
