Advice on what to do if Harry Reid refuses to seat a senator (MA Senate)
Hillbuzz ^ | 1/9/10 | unk.

Posted on 01/09/2010 9:24:54 AM PST by Daisyjane69

Democrats in Massachusetts, with Martha Coakley’s blessing, have announced they will refuse to seat Senator Scott Brown should he win the January 19th special election to fill deceased murderer and womanizer Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. ”Elections don’t matter in Massachusetts,” is apparently what Coakley herself believes. ”I’ve already won and it doesn’t matter what voters say. Scott Brown won’t be acknowledged as Senator. This is the Kennedy Seat and now it’s mine”.

This brings to mind what Harry Reid did to Senator Roland Burris a year ago, when he refused to seat him in the Senate as well. That time, it was because the current president didn’t get his way and then-Governor Rod Blagojevich replaced Dr. Utopia in the Senate not with Valerie Jarrett, Utopia’s crony, but with longtime public servant Burris. Reid howled, and Senate Democrats swore not to acknowledge Burris and bar him from the Senate.

A Brown win would transform the entire national political landscape, and every endangered RAT would run from Pelosi and Reid, making enactment of Obamacare impossible.

Whether Paul Kirk is still sitting there or not, Obamacare will blow up. Every RAT for himself. They will know BO will not be able to save them in November.

If anything like this happens, Freepers should arm and march Scott Brown to the doors of the capital and stand outside until he is sworn in.

Let the liberals quake in their boots.

Republicans at large, and Scott Brown specifically, need to understand they are in the fight of their lives. Not for the first time.
Will they never learn ?

”I’ve already won and it doesn’t matter what voters say. Scott Brown won’t be acknowledged as Senator. This is the Kennedy Seat and now it’s mine”.

I see quote marks. Did she actually say this or is it satire?

That is exactly what I keep saying we have got to get over this “we are better than that” attitude and fight like we intend to win. Get down in the mud with the Dems and play their game, we are smarter and will win!If you win Scott do it! call, this week and get thigns in play so it can be done on the 20th when you declare victory. THis is the battle of our life and I for one do not intend to lose!

"This is the Kennedy Seat and now it’s mine”. "

That statement alone is solid grounds for term limits.

I looked in the Constitution and I don't find a designated "Kennedy Seat" specified for the United States Senate.

The idea of the Kennedy's being America's "royalty" is so 1960's and the product of a bygone crime machine in the northeast.

It is the naked truth that "money talks" when a guy who made his money bootlegging could have such hold on American politics for so many years and generations.

There is no "Kennedy's Seat" in the Senate, and we hope we'll never see another Kennedy occupy a seat there.

I kinda though so as I went to the site and didn't see a real "quote" such as she was in a hashish den chugging a pint of Scotch when she said that out loud...

If this happens Michael Steele and the RNC ought to scream like stuck pigs on every news outlet.

If Reis does it just to get health care in then every state AG should file suit that the bill was passed illegally.

Finally, this should be used in campaign commercials across the country in advance of November's congressional elections. Anything less and Michael Steele should lose his chairmanship.

This is what would happen:

Quickly Juan McCain would hold a press conference surrounded by the gals from Maine and Twinkletoes Graham and demand Senator Brown go home so as not to appear white, extreme and racist.

Senator DeMint would call on Tea Party movers to come to the senate to move Senator Brown’s funiture and staff into his office.

In the meantime, Senator Nelson would be paid a hefty sum by Dingy Harry to pop a cap in Senator Brown.

The RNC and Steele isn’t going to scream. They are not even offering Brown much, if any, support.

[You think they’d really do it?]

They have to do it. It sets up a Constitutional crisis if the health care vote is rammed through with a senator elected but not seated. Especially since the oh-so-smart Dems wanted this election to push the stoodge Coakley in place in time to vote.

I've been reading Ronald Reagan's diary kept through his presidential years. He was plagued by spineless Congressional republicans the whole time. Repeatedly he muses that "we have rabbits where we need tigers." Obviously little has changed among the GOPansies.

“...election to fill deceased murderer and womanizer Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat.”

I just love the well-placed disrespect for Chappaquiddick Teddy!

They are good guys. An offshoot of the PUMA movement, which contained all to the democrats (now mainly former democrats) who are worth a damn.
