I think that Kennedy’s demise is exceptionally well-timed, but for the Republicans. Due to the Massachusetts law Kennedy championed when Kerry ran for president in 2004, and belatedly tried to get repealed in recent weeks, his replacement in the Senate must be selected by the voters in a special election, and no earlier than 135 days after his death.
The Democrats and their allied independents (Lieberman and Sanders) have only 59 votes now. The filibuster is back.
He ended it at liberal legend.
Dang, I missed the fun.
