20. Against it. The people of MA obviously didn't like that the gov would apoint senator in 2004.

They passed a law that limited the power of a GOP govenor.

Now the Governor plays for the right team and Kennedy wants to undo it.

So short sighted. What if the GOP wins back the gov in 2010/2012?

Will they pass another law undoing the undo?

When is passes back into Dem control will the undo the undoing of the undo?

Why not cut to the chase and say "Only Governors who are a part of the Democratic party" can appoint a replacement"?

So blatantly partisan. The law has only been on the books 5 years and the first time it would limit the power of Democrats they want to scrap it?
