Y'know, this wouldn't be a problem if senators were still appointed by the state legislatures like originally intended in our constitution.

Just sayin'...

Yep, but why go through the expense and drama of a special election to replace The Turtle when the primaries are just a few months away?


They want to pick his replacement and not leave it up to chance. The senate is the “golden ground” that must never have a majority from either party. That would disrupt everything.

Not true, Lindsey Graham heard him a couple days ago. They were talking about how hot it’s been.

He has already said he will attempt to make the appointment.


Interesting. Dems said this same sort of thing constituted an insurrection in 2021.
