And, for what its worth, Hawaii and Maryland are among the 8 or 9 states that currently have a similar requirement.

This is not an isolated occurrence. Dems do it often. Demand something that's impossible and then sit back and complain Dems aren't doing enough. In KY the Governor doesn't even select McConnell's replacement and Mueller she wrote should know that given her political reach.

The 17th amendment to the US Constitution states:" When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct."

The legislature of KY has not empowered Beshear to make an appointment to fill a Senate vacancy. Indeed, it passed legislation expressly repealing that authority.

NO apologies.

Paid a visit to the hospital to check on him? I’m not talking about other politicians, voters should go

And that's why hes not having a press conference about it.

Na, that's impossible...
