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.

That is the law. Passed over the governor’s veto I believe

I believe the Constitution says the Executive of a State fills vacancies in the Senate.

The Kentucky law is probably unconstitutional.

I think the worry from the insider-McConnell crowd is that the state GOP party has a different view on things, and their three names probably wouldn’t be McConnell-like people.

At the point where McConnel goes into a daze at the podium and pees in his pants....that’s the end of this whole stall game.
