Speaking of Gabrielle Giffords, let me be the first cold hearted conservative to bring this up.
When does her disability leave end? After 6 months, a year, two years, 7 years... never?? How much brain recovery is acceptable for her to continue to serve?
How long must the People go without a representative?
Granted, Giffords brain activity likely already exceeds most of her democratic peers, such as Reid and Pelosi, but come on already!
There is talk at the Cape that they want to bring her down for her husband’s mission launch.
Great PR for the Zero!
She’s already been conferred with sainthood by the MSM.
I’m assuming her re-election is a given for as long as she desires.
We had a minority Dem here in Indiana (Julia Carson - who was
functionally illiterate and then became senile) who had a permanent House seat until she essentially died on the job.
Then they gave it to her Muslim grandson.
If Giff has 20% brain function remaining, she’ll outdo Julia in the reasoning dept.
Shortly after the shooting I read that legally after 90 days, if she is unable to substantially fulfill her duties, she needs to be replaced.
