President Barack Obama said Thursday that Gov. Deval Patrick should have the power to appoint an interim senator to fill the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s seat.”
Massachusetts governors had the power for hundreds of years, until the Democrats in the Great and General Court of Massachusetts, passed a bill to remove this authority from the governor, in order to prevent Mitt Romney from naming an interim Senator when they all thought Kerry was going to be president.
Now that the shoe is on the other foot, they want to change it back.

Ha! My thoughts exactly!!! Do it for Ted, help keep Ted’s legacy an enduring one - the Liberal Lion of the Senate!
So now he’s butting into state’s rights territory and throwing a dead Senator under the bus!

If I understand this correctly, 0 is advising a Governor to ignore his state's law.
Azzhole must think that he's still in Chitcago.

"Please help make Senator Kennedy's vision a reality, by calling your state senator and representative today, and tell them to allow Gov. Patrick to appoint an interim replacement for our late Senator," wrote John Spears, Massachusetts director of Organizing for America. Perhaps Senator Kennedy's vision was getting cloudy before his death. I think MA should support his previous vision of 2005 to not allow the Gov. to appoint a replacement.
I think Kennedy's vision all along just to have one party rule that can ignore the people they are supposed to represent. It is the vision of the elites who think they know better than the little people. His power and wealth can no longer buy influence for him.

These blood suckers will do anything to maintain their power. Since they think they are royalty why don't they just pass their seats along by blood. That would make Kara Anne the senator from Massachusetts. Most people in the state would be fine with that. Obama is such a phony. If there was a Republican governor right now there wouldn't be a peep out of him over this issue.
