What a load of horseshit. Now that the honorable Ted (I swam the tidal channel) Kennedy has passed away, liberal democrats are bellowing that a single-payer system should be passed in his honor. WTF?
Get real. If that’s now their primary reason for passage, it’s bound to fail. Now the shit hits the fan in Massachusetts. From WSJ.
On a day when members of both parties paid their respects to Mr. Kennedy, a Democratic icon who died this week of brain cancer, Republicans accused Democrats of hypocrisy. In 2004, the state’s Democrat-controlled legislature changed the law to prevent the governor from appointing an interim successor after a U.S. Senate seat becomes vacant. Instead, the new law requires that a special election be held between 145 and 165 days after the position becomes vacant.

Now, with Mr. Kennedy dying three years before his term was up, some Massachusetts Democrats are reversing course, calling for Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick to appoint an interim replacement to hold office until the special election can be held. They now argue the state shouldn’t be without full Senate representation for months, especially with pressing issues such as health care before Congress.
