[QueerDuck]

4. too bad

5. Kentucky's vacancy laws were explicitly changed in response to political shifts and Mitch McConnell's health...

... completely overturning a century of precedent.

For most of Kentucky’s history, the governor had the unchecked authority to appoint anyone they wanted (of any political party) to temporarily fill a Senate vacancy.

However, as McConnell's health and age became public concerns, the state's Republican-dominated legislature altered the law twice.

Fuckers.

6. now they want to appoint all senators ,repealing the 17th amendment

or more likely finding some originalist reason the amendment actually requires the state legislatures to appoint senators.

2. McConnell has ALWAYS been Unresponsive.

Send him some tobacco
