Wonder what marvelous commie the Govnaa is going to appoint now?
Ah, here's the rub, ironic justice. FIVE years ago, when John Kerry was running for president. Kennedy pressure the Mass legistlature to pass a law requiring a public vote on replacement congress seats. Despite all the high-faluting rhetoric he was concerned that if Kerry won, Gov Romney (R) would appoint a republican.
JUST THIS MONTH, Kennedy was pressuring Mass Legislature to reverse that law, so that when he died, the now Democratic governor could appoint the replacement!
I don't think they passed the reversal. So the people of MA will get to vote.
