PRMA Republicans Protest Kennedy Replacement

[falcon]

Don't blame them one bit for protesting this action by the PRMA legislature and the governator. Kerry and Kennedy had a piece of sorry legislation passed so Romney could not appoint a replacement for Kerry if he won the presidential election. Now that Teddy Baby is deceased they repealed that law.

BOSTON – The Massachusetts Republican Party is seeking to block the interim appointment of Paul Kirk to the Senate seat that was held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.
The GOP has filed an injunction in Suffolk Superior Court that will be heard Friday morning.

Lawmakers this week passed legislation giving Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick the power to appoint an interim replacement, but laws approved in Massachusetts usually take 90 days to go into effect. Patrick signed an emergency letter that he says allows the law to become effective immediately

Cronyism at it's very finest, but all perfectly legal, no matter how smarmy it looks.

Double standards at it's best. Meant only to preserve the political power base.

The protest didn't last long... A judge threw out the challenge, and Biden just swore Kirk in as Senator...
