Kennedy's Ghost Haunts Taxpayers
Seeks Ex-Post Facto Law Creation so Clone
Can Vote for Obamacare Boondoggle
Chappaquiddick Teddy is not even in the ground yet and, zombie-like the corpse is thrashing around fruitlessly seeking to make the inept liberal senator’s last wishes come true. To aid the dead man’s remains in creating a clone of him, the hypocritical Massachusetts state legislators are planning to change the state’s “appointment” law again. Appointment power was taken away in 2004 when the state had a Republican governor and now five years later the appointment law would be re-instituted to benefit a Democratic governor . . . the founding father’s must be thrashing about in their graves. “Cradle of Liberty, indeed??????? Let the still unburied dead (tomorrow’s the funeral)) stay buried once they are buried, Rajjpuut says.
Newspaper reports said that if the law is changed, Governor Deval Patrick would name a temporary caretaker senator who would pledge not to run in a special election. Former governor Michael Dukakis, ex-state attorney general Scott Harshbarger and former state treasurer Shannon O'Brien -- all Democrats – have been named as potential appointees. How did this abominable possibility occur?
Days before his death of brain cancer Democratic Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy sent a letter to state governor Deval Patrick, state Senate President Therese Murray and speaker of the Massachusetts house Robert DeLeo all seeking action to let Patrick appoint a temporary replacement, if necessary, to serve until a special election could be held.
In other words, Kennedy’s dying wishes, set out in the letter of August 20th, are for the lawmakers in Massachusetts to either violate state law or create new state law in an extraordinary manner so that a Democrat can be voting for Obamacare and thus plaguing the taxpayers with another government spending boondoggle of the sort Kennedy himself was infamous for pushing. “I strongly support that law and the principle that the people should elect their senator,” Kennedy said in the letter, which was reported in the Boston Globe. “I also believe it is vital for this commonwealth to have two voices speaking for the needs of its citizens and two votes in the Senate.”
Good Ol’ Chappaquiddick Teddy always trying to be “compassionate” with the taxpayers’ money even after death. One thing for sure, however, Kennedy never did pay attention to the U.S. Constitution and the desires of the founding fathers. Since the law if created, however created, would violate the Constitution's prohibition of "Ex Post Facto Laws" Republicans should certainly stand by their guns and fight the presence of the Kennedy Frigging Clone (KFC) Senator from Massachusetts to the United States Supreme Court and beyond the grave on constitutional grounds. The ex post facto provision should serve as a silver bullet.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
