Massachusetts can do what it wants
But we don't have to be nice about it.
The Massachusetts legislature can change laws back and forth about how they want folks appointed to dead senator's seats to suit their governors (can't let Republicans appoint them, can allow Democrats to do so).
But the rest of us get to mock them.
Mickey Kaus offers a specific memory about the boot-licking Kennedy apparatchik the governor just appointed. With citations. Let's not pretend. This 71 year old is a place holder - the only serious question is for whom. Patrick? How soon would he need to move home from Rhode Island to establish residency? Joe III (or whatever number he is)? I think he's damaged goods - but then I'm not a local who'll pull the lever for anyone with a K at the first of his name (oh dear - Senator Kirk might actually be able to get ELECTED if someone isn't careful!!).
And people think places like Memphis and New Orleans are corrupt!

Oh, hell, even I will mock that nonsense. It's just offensive.
