Foiled again.
Foiled again.
Kirk does not ring a bell.
I must have missed it, did the Massachusett’s legislature change the law - perhaps today?
Did the law allowing an interim appointment pass? Last I heard they had the 50% votes to pass it, but it wouldn’t go into effect for 90 days unless they had a 2/3 majority to declare it an emergency and the Republicans weren’t falling for that.
Massachusetts has show its real self. Not about democracy, not about representative republic, just about keeping ruling class in power.

An ex post facto law (from the Latin for “after the fact”) or retroactive law, is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences of acts committed or the legal status of facts and relationships that existed prior to the enactment of the law.
Kirk is 71 yrs. old. So much for young blood.
Isn’t that sweet? The Kennedys have their own private fief... Massachusetts.
Maybe Dukakis wants to run in January! Put on the helmet and swaddle up Mike, give ‘em heck.
And we are suprised by this exactly why? Just another Kennedy order down from Olympus.
He’s a former DNC Committee Chairman, Chairman of the JFK Library Foundation, and a Kennedy loyalist, pal, confidant, lawyer, etc., etc.
Kirk is most likely a place holder for the Kennedy Klan, giving them time to dry out one of their own long enough to get him elected while they and the DNC put the fix in on the January election.
PAGING MICHAEL STEELE. PAGING MICHAEL STEELE.
Why doen’t the RNC sue to enforce proper Massachusetts law that REQUIRES a special election for an open seat?
Why allow an ex post facto change (to suit Obmania)??
People in MA have long made up for their embarrassment over John and John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster too.
