LOL...if the tables were turned and it's a republican in the state Johnson appears to be in and there was a dem governor....we'd be hearing 24/7 from the rats...to replace him.

Then again maybe this is a safe guard...kinda like the 60 vote threshold we all wanted changed...however, today we're glad it's still there. ;o)

Remember Strom’s death watch back when SC had a rodent Governor from ‘99 to ‘03 ? All the media clamoring to get us to talk him into stepping down and allowing the Gov to appoint someone himself ? To their chagrin, ole Strom made it past the finishing line. Too bad he didn’t have enough of his faculties to give the media the middle finger F-U on his 100th birthday to all those degenerates hoping he’d buy the farm.

Sure we would. And the media talking heads would be out there pontificating on what the founders really meant and all the rest. But it doesn't matter. Johnson could be even more brain dead than the average Dem currently is, but unless he resigned he'd still be senator. Absent impeachement the Constitution doesn't allow for any method for removing a sitting senator or congressman.
