Ok now Ted Kennedy wants it back the way it was....

Ok I know he has brain cancer so I'll cut him a little slack, but come on. You have a law passed so a Republican cannot be put in as an interim senator, and now you want to go back and repeal the law so a Democrat can be put in as an interim senator. Just change the laws at will to fit the current needs I guess.

Hot Air Blog Archive Kennedy wants law changed in Massachusetts … again


This is just typical MO I guess, Democrats protest and it's great to be an American, Republicans protest, and they are just so un-American.

On and On and On

Deal with it.
Laws can be changed by legislatures.
Back when we had a Republican Governor, the Great and General Court decided that it was in the best interest of the Commonwealth (and the nation for that matter) to hold a special election if a Senate seat became vacant, now that we have Democratic Governor, the danger is passed, and it would benefit the citizens of the Commonwealth to maintain continuity in representation in the Senate.

I really wish Teddy had been running in '68 instead of Bobby.

But to change your very own law...come on....I know you're a partisan hack, but this is a little too much.

And who is it benefiting? The citizens or the Democratic party. Those two are not one in the same.

Great Quotes from Great Americans:

"With regard to the words 'general welfare', I have always regarded them as qualified by the details of the powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphisis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators."James Madison, Father of the Constitution

He's not changing the law, he's creating a new law to fill in the seat in the interim. The law for his state says that a special election needs to be held to replace a vacant senate seat - and its not a great deal of time before the election must be held, but it is a couple of months, which makes sense from the viewpoint that if a senator dies suddenly it will take time to organize and campaign to get elected. That law would still be there. All he would like is that the governor be able to appoint a replacement to stand in until the election.

Personally I think Minnesotans got screwed for 6 months with only half their alotted representation simply because Coleman was dragging the election appeals out about 3 months longer than necessary simply to keep dems from the 60 seat majority. In my opinion the MN governor should have been able to appoint a temporary replacement for those 6 months.

We saw in IL what happens when state law says the governor may appoint a PERMANENT replacement. You get a Blagujovich scenario.

A special election should work just fine, they could be having it now if he had resigned already or better yet would never have had to deal with it at all if people would have stopped voting the drunken limousine liberal into office.

If there is an election odds are it's going to be a Democrat anyway, it's Massachusetts.

Why would you object to Kennedy's seat being filled quickly?

in other words he wants to vote from the grave, and the hypocrisy here is beyond belief, but then again, I never expected anything less. And the fact you don’t care speaks for itself. “Deal” with it, indeed.


the 'danger' has passed


and please, 'maintain continuity", inother words I can get it reversed now that it will benefit me so bumph off the rest of you.....


I gotta bookmark this too......you'll see it it again, bet on it.
