In a one-party state, the party always wins.

That the people of Mass don’t rise up in revolt to this constant changing of the rules to keep one party power is a testament to why we see the continued election of worthless commie scum like Barney Frank, Marty Meehan, John F Fonda Keri and Ted the swimmer Kennedy.

I thought Obama said we were a nation of laws. Tell me he did not say that! If so, he should win the hypocrite of the year/century award.
The United States of America no longer has an operable Constitution, nor does it conduct itself under the Rule of Law.
Laws are for the lowly peons.

Sounds like Obama needs to brush up on his history a bit more.

The criminals are enabled by the self-righteous, ignorant Massholes who continue to vote them in position of power.

As they say....elections have consequences. And when RATs win them, the consequences are usually bad.

Sadly, the Constitution doesn’t apply in this case, but rather the laws of the state of Massachusetts. Then again, they don’t matter much to liberals, either.

"This fails the Ex Post Facto law in our Constitution." Probably not. Justice Chase, in Calder v Bull, laid out the four principles that have guided ex post facto decisions ever since. None of those four principles apply here. The law was passed, then Kirk was appointed.
Now, I'm not entirely convinced that Kirk's appointment is allowable under the new statute. I'd like to read this Superior Court judge's decision to see exactly what his reasoning is for denying plaintiff's action.
