I’m sure he didn’t pick Pencil-neck or Porter because he didn’t want to choose sides in that race. Probably a good move. The bad move is that he picked a worthless carpetbagger from Maryland.
> the Senator “be an inhabitant” of the state at the time of election
The 17th amendment put the appointment authority in the hands of state legislatures, and to the Governors if the legislature of the state was not in session, or the legislature could delegate to the governor. So the only requirement in California statutes I could find is that the appointee must be a “qualified elector” in the state. Not sure how that is actually defined in California. But I imagine if the appointee can’t legally vote in the state it would be difficult for them to be a “qualified elector” under the possible readings of the term…
But hey, it’s up to the Senate majority to decide if she can be seated…the only recourse for the people of the state is the next election. Or they could punish Gruesome Newsome by recall.
Like that’s gonna make a difference, heheh.
He didn't, someone else told him.
Hilariously, Butler even forgot to turn off her location data until after she was appointed. It’s all fixed now.
And that’s going to be a senator yep true democrat hack breeding.
she will the primary is next spring
Anyone who claims she is a resident of Maryland is an insurrectionist white nationalist extremist homophobe conspiracy theorist hater and a racist California denier!
at the time of appointment she was a resident of Maryland and a registered voter there. On Monday she changed her voter registration. So the appointment was in violation of the constitution as demonstrated by her own behavior, but nothing will happen It’s a power thing. Do what you cna get away with.
Either way, it will be some leftist DEI puppet doing what he/she/it is told to do. So this is a net win for them. DiFi at least very occasionally had an original thought of her own (at least before going completely senile).
GRACIAS, AMIGO!
If you think you could have some fun with that graphic, let me know.
