Democrats in Massachusetts passed a law preventing the governor from appointing a successor if a US senator leaves office. This was passed when John Kerry was running for president and might leave his Senate seat. The governor at the time was a Republican.
Now Ted “Chappaquiddick” Kennedy has written a letter to state lawmakers asking them to overturn that law, because he might not be able to continue serving. By the way, the current governor is a Democrat.
The ironic thing here is that NBC totally missed the connection. It was Kennedy who led the charge for the change originally.
