We really need good lawyers to chime in here, especially in Massachusetts to answer the following questions for us:
(1) As we understand it, when Massachusetts Democrats changed the provisions in the state constitution to enable Governor Deval Patrick to appoint an interim Senator to deceased murderer and womanizer Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat upon his death, Massachusetts enabled that interim Senator to serve only “until the election of the replacement Senator” in the special election — is this correct?
(2) How is “election” defined in Massachusetts law? We understand this to mean January 19th, which is the day Massachusetts elects its new replacement Senator who will serve until 2012 when that seat will be up for re-election again with its respective Senate class. Is this correct?
(3) How are the terms “election” and “certification” different? We understand them to be two separate things — the people elect a Senator on January 19th, which is set in stone. After that, the Secretary of State in Massachusetts certifies those results, and after that, the Senate itself seats the new Senator from Massachusetts. ”Election” is, in our understanding, what’s specified in the Massachusetts provision at hand — not certification. Is this correct?
Later they announce this
Democrats in Massachusetts, with Martha Coakley’s blessing, have announced they will refuse to seat Senator Scott Brown should he win the January 19th special election to fill deceased murderer and womanizer Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. ”Elections don’t matter in Massachusetts,” is apparently what Coakley herself believes. ”I’ve already won and it doesn’t matter what voters say. Scott Brown won’t be acknowledged as Senator. This is the Kennedy Seat and now it’s mine”.
Then the official Republican Candidate announces this:
He decried a quote from Senator Paul G. Kirk Jr., the seat’s temporary occupant, suggesting Kirk would vote to pass the bill if such a vote fell after the election but before the new senator could be sworn in.
“Paul Kirk appears to be suggesting that he, Deval Patrick, and Harry Reid intend to stall the election certification until the health care bill is rammed through Congress, even if that means defying the will of the people of Massachusetts,’’ he said in a statement.
In a radio interview yesterday, Coakley agreed with Brown that the new senator “should be sworn in as soon as possible’’ after the election.
Secretary of State William F. Galvin said the controversy appears to be manufactured. Federal law requires him to wait 10 days before certifying the election results, to allow for absentee ballots from military personnel stationed overseas to be counted.

http://www.pr-inside.com/jim-demint-wannabe-candidate-for-u-r1646750.htmand who are now winding the Limpballs teabagger following something senseless in away that could seriously threaten the life of US Senators?
Hear us now Harry Reid.
Mark our words Deval Patrick.
Listen up William Galvin.
Pay attention Martha Coakley.
Tremble at the thought Nancy Pelosi.
If you dare defy the will of the people of the state of Massachusetts and indeed, as threatened, block the seating of Senator Scott Brown should he win the special election on January 19th, in your suicidal and insane quest to ram your unconstitutional and bribe-riddled Healthcare Rationing bill through the United States Senate, WE THE PEOPLE in order to establish a more perfect union shall MARCH UPON WASHINGTON to setup an office for UNITED STATES SENATOR SCOTT BROWN on our own.
On the steps of the Capitol if we have to.
Where Senator Brown will become the 41st vote of reason against your madness, and throngs of Americans of all walks of life will travel to the capital to stand with him as we begin our quest to drive every last Liberal from Congress like the snakes from Ireland.
Your schemes will not work.
Your plot won’t go unchallenged.
Your usurpation of the will of the people will not be tolerated.
If you have any gods, pray to them now, because a reckoning is coming.
We here at HillBuzz are moderate Democrats who want all of your heads on a platter at this point. We can only imagine what people who never liked you to begin with are feeling now that it’s been announced you wish to disregard the Massachusetts election and lock Senator Brown out before he’s even elected.
Getting birthers and knucklehead GOP types this wound up does not ever seem to be the best of ideas.
