Are The '60's Finally Over?
By Carole on Aug 31, 2009
Two things have happened recently that may signify the last gasp of 1960's liberalism. The last Kennedy brother has died and Obamacare has all but died on the operating table.

Will The People Of Massachusetts Get A Say Or The Shaft?

The death of Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) takes the senatorial succession law of Massachusetts out of the hypothetical. Last week Senator Kennedy petitioned Governor Deval Patrick (D) to change state law to allow a speedy replacement for him. Current law requires a special election be held within five months. Bear in mind that that current state law was changed in 2004 when Democrats feared then-Governor Mitt Romney (R) would appoint a Republican replacement to fill Senator John Kerry's (D-Massachusetts) seat should he win the presidential election.
