The North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law is once again getting its lawsuit on:
Raleigh, N.C. - Dean Webster, Executive Director of the North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law (NCICL), announced today that NCICL, representing three individual plaintiffs from North Carolina, has filed a legal challenge to the North Carolina legislation which granted for Google Inc. an exemption from certain retail sales and use taxes relating to Google's construction and operation of an internet data center in Lenoir, North Carolina. In addition to the Google legislation, NCICL is also challenging the constitutionality of the state's potentially $4.8 million Job Development Investment Grant to Google. Google Inc. announced its decision to locate in North Carolina in January 2007, after over a year of secret negotiations with state and local officials.

These Unconstitutional federalist society people are making the trial lawyers look like a bunch of silly small time wimps with their filvous lawsuits against the State of North Carolina. They are like the Atlanta Falcons legal department when it comes to deciding what to do after the Vick legal contract has got the whole NFL season screw up.
