True, but in this case, it was an AG’s opinion (that doesn’t hold legal weight) and another Republican who just use that as a legal argument to not do something that both parties agreed to. Even the previous Republican AG for Nebraska says this issue is stupid and LB 20 should go ahead.

They just want to appear to be doing something, even though they aren’t doing anything useful.

A cell phone uses between 5 watts and 20 watts, according to google, so probably not currently.
