: TalkLeftKennedy Asks MA For Interim Replacement Law
By Big Tent Democrat
Being reported by the Boston Globe. Good for Sen. Kennedy to be thinking about this (PDF). We all of course hope for his recovery, and the report is clear in that Sen. Kennedy is not planning to resign nor is he at imminent risk.
This issue has been discussed a lot here, in hushed tones for the most part. But the 2004 law that stripped the Massachusetts governor of the power of appointment was clearly flawed. A special election, as called for by the law, is of course good, but an interim appointment by the Governor must be allowed. Massachusetts should not stand unrepresented until a special election.
Kudos to Sen. Kennedy for again proving he is a man who puts the people first.
