I haven't done any actual research beyond reading an argument between several freepers, but the prevailing thought is the governor gets to appoint an interim senator if the current senator resigns/dies. Some freepers say that because the governor is a Democrat, he would appoint a democratic senator / himself. Others say no, Kentucky law says the appointee has to be from the same part as the former senator. Still others argue that the governor would ignore that and illegally appoint a Democrat.

Nothing is funnier than seeing Freepers complain about Mitch. that evil bastard has been the single most effective GOP legislator in the past half century, blocked innumerable progressive laws, packed the courts with conservative hacks, and set back progress in this country by decades. They should worship the ground he walks on. But of course they are Freep

Safety Dance posted:McConnell froze again during a press conference. Just so we're all on the same page, he's already on a blood thinner. Remember when that pic came out and his whole hand was black? That was most likely a direct result of a hosed up blood draw/IV insertion. With someone on thinners, that's exactly what happens if you miss the vein. Knowing this, we need to be hoping for a bad fall where he hits his head, not a stroke. the_more_ypu_know.gif

This Is the Zodiac posted:Governor is a Dem. Unfortunately Kentucky's vacancy law is the departing Senator's party leadership picks the replacement (actually they pick a list of three and then the Governor chooses). That’s incredibly gameable. To the point I don’t know why they bothered. “Okay so my three suggestions are [actual person who you hate], and then two unpickable loons. Or some dogs. Or my balls. gently caress you, governor, we’re playing my weird little game and you pick whatever I tell you to.”

It was the Governor's choice until 2021, when McConnell called in his goons to change the law. It probably violates the state constitution, but this is Calvinball season.

Xiahou Dun posted:Yeah so just give the power to an all Republican council of eldritch necromancers. I get that. It's because the state constitution requires either a special election or the Governor pick a replacement for a mid-term vacancy. Special elections cost money and leave the seat empty for a while. This list idea was a way of working backwards to let the state Senate pick the replacement while still trying to stay in-bounds of the state constitution that requires the Governor specifically pick the person.

So they do this because the constitution says that the Governor gets to pick one and they would never want to circumvent the wording of the constituion. This is actually quite great in how stupid it is. How did Kentucky end up with a Dem governor in the first place?

His dad was a local hero in Kentucky, he was semi-popular for taking on opioid companies as AG of Kentucky, and the incumbent Republican Governor had driven the state into the ground so far with budget and tax cuts that schools switched to 4-day school weeks to save money to fund corporate tax cuts and he tried to unilaterally pull money from the state university system to fund tax cuts after the (supermajority Republican legislature) said he needed to cool down because they were getting too much heat from people pissed about schools.

Kentucky might just be the worst place to live in the country right now. Not sure how common this is now, but there is at least one hospital there where they will just dump people outside if they can't pay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFJsFdgMkYE

It is one hospital who allegedly did it to 4 people and it is illegal. Kentucky is definitely not a great place to live on average compared to other states, but I don't think you can really blame the people of Kentucky for that hospital.
