On Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 9, Gardner Auditorium in the Massachusetts State House was filled to capacity as the Joint Committee on Election Laws heard testimony on Bill H656 which would give the Governor of Massachusetts the ability to quickly appoint an interim successor to Ted Kennedy to serve in the US Senate, until a replacement is elected, overturning a law passed in 2004 by the Democrat-dominated Legislature.

I cannot believe that even in the most liberal state of all they cannot see the hypocrisy in all of this. Just Damn.
What a crock. MA has been without 'two voices' in the US Senate for over a year now. What difference is 5 more months going to make? I mean...what difference to reasonably intelligent, non-Liberal, non-0bama-suckups.
Why not just take Ted to a taxidermist, stuff him, wheel him back to the Senate floor and have him raise his hand to vote yes on all liberal bills.
They see it...
...and do not care.
Stuffing does not represent the dignity of the former Senator.
Permanent pickling would be more appropriate. :-)
You’re absolutely right. Where else could a project go over budget by around $14 billion and NOT be investigated? There have been entire families that have worked their whole life on the Big Dig. This is just par for MA. I lived there for almost 10 years and am so happy to be out of there.

Just to refresh your memory, the project began either under Dukakis or Weld, and continued on under Celluci, Swift and Romney.
All Republicans, except for the Duke.

When you have no standards it is quite easy to do anything.
The only thing a Kennedy can be unforgiven for is becoming a Republican.
I no longer regard Massachusetts as a state. I’d like to import the science staff of MIT to the US, and then use Massachusetts as a target range.
So will the Kangaroo court in MA allow them to get away with making an Ex Post Facto law? I know, I shouldn’t have to ask.
This is exactly what the founding fathers meant when they spoke of “the tyranny of the majority.”
I’d at least have some grudging respect if they dropped the charade and simply said “We’re doing this because we can and Republicans can’t stop it.”
Just to refresh YOUR memory, each of those governors had a DEMOCRAT controlled state congress. There is little to nothing they can do.
Well, they certainly fulfilled expectations.
And in that case, why bother ever putting Repub gooobernors in if they’re all impotent.
