Posted on 09/22/2009 12:13:25 PM PDT by bridgemanusa
State senators passed a bill today 24-16 allowing Gov. Deval Patrick to pick a temporary U.S. senator by the end of the week following a final procedural vote tomorrow.
If the House and Senate pass the bill, as expected, tomorrow a temporary senator can be chosen to fill the seat left vacant by the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. A permanent replacement will be elected by voters during a Jan. 19 special election.

My guess is WV is looking at its law now due to Bird’s hospital visit and no news.
The only rule - the only standard left - at all is the one that states, simply, the Left finds a rationale to do whatever they want.
The Democrat party is a criminal enterprise in the model of ACORN.
Why don’t they save time and just make the law say:
If Democrat governor—successor appointed directly.
If Republican governor—special election.
The Left is ruthless, the GOP is spineless.
And we are all just peasants, hanging on for dear life as our rulers take us into uncharted territory.
It will make for political ads in the 2010 elections. I hope not everyone is tone deaf. I was born there. Very sad.
Pa. (current home) not much better..but momentum is building to take it back. Good luck to you...
That phrase just might go on America's tombstone.
WTF tiBS!!!
They should do it themselves. That was the original way for it to be done.
Will we remember in November? (2010?)
Lets hope the Republicans can return the favor some day
The banana Republic of Mass is at it again.
Thank God I do not live there anymore.
I left Mass 8 years ago, and when they do this sh** I still feel embarrassed and ashamed.
RATs have no shame.
Is it possible that there’s an Ex Post Facto case to be made here? Don’t know who would have standing to sue, though.
Even money that Deval Patrick names himself to the spot.
After all, ethics don’t seem to matter too much in Massachussetts.
I find it scary that my tagline is appropriate for darn near every post lately.
Another day, another injury, another step closer...
Certainly a great day for the socialists... First this crap and the former attorney general from Taxachusetts is appointed special investigator to examine ACORN. The Fix is in!!!!!!
