It's not as if the rethugs are forthcoming with anything close to the truth.

His manipulation of the SCOTUS is one of the biggest reasons why we're in the mess we're in.

May he receive all that is due to him!

Keen and McConnell illustrate the greater lack of transparency and entitlement these little men (Not All Little Men™!!!!) carry around in their pockets like candy.

About 10 years ago, TX Rep. Kay Granger spent almost the last half-year of her tenure in congress from a Memory Care Unit and no one knew about it until after it was reported by media. I'm certainly not surprised by their current lack of honesty to the nation... laws, fidelity, rules and decency are applied to citizens and Democrats only.

legislature passed a bill to prevent that, saying that the governor could ONLY select a member of that person's party from a pre-approved list provided by party leadership. Beshear has challenged that new law, with little success so far.

But he may have to appoint one just for the remainder of turtle’s term , then an election is open to a contest

That's the essence of why the law should not be valid.
