Last week, Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., spoke with my colleague Joel Gehrke to give his side of the story on the frenzied push to pass President Obama’s health care law. In the process, he took issue with Justice Antonin Scalia, who referenced the infamous “Cornhusker Kickback” in March’s Obamacare oral arguments.

“The real point here is that Justice Scalia can laugh all he wants, but the laugh is on him if he thinks that’s in the legislation,” Nelson told The Washington Examiner.
