Massachusetts Senate Approves Kennedy Successor Bill

Gotta love the hypocrites in the state of Massachusetts, which is basically California east. After Kennedy rushed to get the state senate to change the state law changed in 2004 to require a ‘special election’ to fill a vacated Senate seat (should John Kerry have won the Presidency), the libtard state has once again flip-flopped and approved a bill, again begged for by Ted Kennedy before he died to change the law back so that a “temporary” replacement until the special election for the Senate seat can be held. Rumors about temporary replacement have Michael Dukakis, the democrat failure from the 1988 Presidential election to fill the seat. More from Fox News:

The bill goes back to both chambers for a final procedural vote on Wednesday before heading to Gov. Deval Patrick, who has said he would sign it.

Patrick’s aides say they expect him to act quickly to name an appointee. The replacement would serve until voters pick a permanent replacement Jan. 19.

Lawmakers have come under pressure from Washington to pass the bill so Democrats can regain a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate to help pass President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

    Ugh…I was hoping that out of respect for Ted Kennedy, Massachusetts would decided to forever leave his Senate seat empty.
