In reading over the Complaint filed by various state Attorneys General against the health care bill, I noticed something interesting. Paragraph 14 of the Complaint notes that the state of “Nebraska Carolina” is a plaintiff in the lawsuit. Not only that, but it’s a “sovereign state in the United States of America.”
I can only guess that some fine folks from North Carolina and Nebraska have gotten together and formed a new state! Having lived in both states, I congratulate the new sovereign, and wish them the best of luck in their lawsuit.
But does this mean we have to add another star on the flag?

Update: The first paragraph also lists the plaintiffs, but has a bracketed “[ADD STATES AND AG’s]” rather than the party names. Do the lawyers over at Baker Hostetler not know how to proofread?
For a second I thought you meant our favorite bar.
No doubt the bar 51st State is also involved in various health-related lawsuits, but those are probably more related to health codes than health care.
