I don't see how they can cite any state law which will in effect extend a US senate seat for longer than six years as is constitutional by design.

I've stated this before but will say it again: this isn't about Toricelli. This is about denying Forrester his right to run for the US senate.

I supspect the appointment would be for the remainder of the 107th which runs until Jan 3, 2003.... Then a reappointment for the 108th until an election can be held to fill the remainder of the term. Thus nothing subverting the six years.... I think it was one of the CA senators came in something akin to that. She won the election and the sitting Senator resigned and she was appointed to fill the remainder of the term prior to her term starting.

I agree it's about defeating Forrester in any manner they can whether by election or manuvering. Isn't specualtion so much fun? LOL
