What?!
And this is how you do it.
I hope McConnell can be propped up until the 2026 elections so that we don’t have to test this law in court. Recent judicial decisions for the most part have not been on our side.
... and just in time since McTurtle fell down again today.
Thank God whoever is praying for KY.
What’ll happen when a Republican is governor?
Well, really the state legislature should pick the senators...but that will require a repeal of the 17th amendment.
There should be a provision in the law that would prevent the current sitting governor from running for the Senate seat.
Good work.
LOL, but it is a lucky piece of timing for us nonetheless.
Great day....
but stupid and unnecessary lie:
“supporters said was unrelated to recent scrutiny about the health of the state’s senior senator, Republican leader Mitch McConnell.”
Just tell the truth people.
It is about McConnell because the guy could collapse again tomorrow like he did today.
Telling the truth is not that difficult.
It can even be fun!
excellent news
now chyna mitch can move out
Just in time, too.
“The GOP supermajority Legislature easily overrode Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of the measure.”
The “great Democrat hope” Beshear has a GOP supermajority to deal with...
You can’t make up this stuff.
Reminds me of El Cid with Charlton Heston.
Did they add any 25th Amendment style wording in order to get Mitch out? He can only fall down so many times before he does not get back up, and it does not look like he will be leaving soon on his own.
So the article didn’t say anything other that the gov is out and people should vote. The question is, is there an interim appointment to fill a vacancy and if so by whom?
Good move.
The problem with the law is it conflicts with the Kentucky Constitution. Republicans didn’t amend the constitution, so Beshear can appoint whomever he wishes. He stated earlier that the law was flawed and that he will ignore it.
From the Kentucky Constitution:
...”Vacancies in all offices for the State at large, or for districts larger than a county, shall be filled by appointment of the Governor; all other appointments shall be made as may be prescribed by law.... “
Democrat senators in states with Republican governors should be the first ones looked at for crimes. Make it so Mitch’s seat isn’t that important. VA is a nice place to start.
