Mitch has already been told, you’re not going anywhere.
Biden called him same day, and said they’re good friends.
Someone on this forum wrote that the rule in Kentucky is as follows:
When replacing a senator three nominees from that senator’s party are selected by party leadership and sent to the governor to choose.
I don’t know the details.
Replacing Gobbler with a rat is essentially the same thing we see now. And that POS is not exactly driving people to the polls as 2024 looks rather iffy.
He has no choice, unless his choice is to ignore legislation on the books.
Hmm, flout a law.
So, they win or they win or else.
They flout.
How about this Kentucky GOP, flout your governor right the hell out of office and use your supermajority to impeach his arse if he doesn’t comply.
Of course, the answer is he would not. Only way possible if it was a RINO Uniparty one.
In March 1967, shortly before the expiration of his educational draft deferment upon graduation from law school, McConnell enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve as a private at Louisville, Kentucky... This was a coveted position because the Reserve units were mostly kept out of combat during the Vietnam War... His first day of training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, was July 9, 1967, two days after taking the bar exam, and his last day was August 15, 1967... Shortly after his arrival he was diagnosed with optic neuritis and deemed medically unfit for military service, and was honorably discharged.
There are draft dodgers and there are draft-dodging lawyer flim-flam artists. This Veteran (who happened to be in uniform in 1967) has no uber positive (but no negative) wishes for Mister McConnell, other that I hope he sticks his term out.
What difference would it make if he appointed a D to replace McConnell? Both sides are useless. You go ahead and fight this one. It’s a waste of time believing he’d appoint an R. He’ll appoint a D and the matter will go to the SC after a year or two, and by then we’ll be spelling America with a k.
The entire article is about the law on the books and Andy Beshear potentially flouting the law and the comment section contains posts discussing advising that there is a law on a books requiring him to appoint a Republican.
Come on, folks.
Why no reports of Mitch freezing anywhere else. It seems he does this only at a presser??
No one with a single functioning brain cell believes for an instant that the current demhole governor would appoint a republican.
I’m with Hillary, and JonPreston, on this one... at this point, what difference does it make?
in other words deepstate put America between a rock and a hard place. America may have no choice but to prop up the ccp owned puppet with formaldehyde if need be until the dirtbag can be replaced by popular vote.
Of course he won’t appoint a Republican if he gets to choose a replacement…please
The big money machine that is McConnell, Inc. will transition in name only.
It wouldn’t really matter. McConnell helps the democrats so much he may as well be one.
It's about time we got a Republican in that Senate seat.
Per KY law, the guv doesn’t get to choose, the Republican party does. At least, that’s what I think I read yesterday.
