Lawmakers did not pass, however, an emergency preamble to the law, meaning that the governor would have to send a letter to the secretary of state requesting early implementation of a law.
They couldn't get the emergency preamble passed because it requires 2/3 vote. So now the governor makes his emergency request, the Sec of State says "okie-dokie", the 'Pubs file suit, the MA Sup Ct rules in favor of the Dems ( and maybe orders all the 'Pubs thrown in jail or shot or something)-- so the Dems get their Senator, but it will take a little time. Closer and closer to the Jan 19 election date.
Hey, I hear ya, but I think between the “pubs file suit” and “MA Sup Ct rules in favor of Dems” there will likely be a “Senate Swears in Interim Mass. Senator” for the health care vote.
It’s up to Harry Reid whether or not he seats the appointee. He’ll have an excuse to seat if the Sec. of State says “okie dokie”
We shall see...
The Republican party and/or other interested parties need to bring an immediate lawsuit to delay this law. The Democrats have no shame or even adherance to the rule of law.
