Massachusetts Throws its Constitution Out the Window

In Massachusetts the Constitution does not matter.

In Massachusetts laws can change to accommodate the Democratic Party's desires, and then change back when they no longer fit.

In Massachusetts you might as well call the legislature "the Government Mafia of Mass" – one which adds and deletes laws as they see fit. No reason to worry about looking like a bunch of losers who change laws to keep the state tied to the liberal band wagon.... Massachusetts is liberal and their law is the law of the land... in Massachusetts.

Today, another partisan Massachusetts judge empowered with the responsibility to uphold the Constitution of the State of Massachusetts (written in part by John AdamsJohn Adams and until today, the Constitution that remained the oldest Constitution in the world) tossed aside law for sake of the need to give President Obama a filibuster proof Senate.

My critics will say that I am just being tough on Obama. My critics will say that Massachusetts is "doing it for the greater good." But I refuse to back down to what is a blatant misuse of power and a hypocritical move by Deval PatrickDeval Patrick who admits to being encouraged by the Big "O" to change the law and appoint a new Democrat to the open Massachusetts seat.

The problem lies in the history of the law...

In 2004 Massachusetts highly anticipated losing a Senate seat with the election of John KerryJohn Kerry to the Presidency of the United States. The People's Republic of Massachusetts came up with a plan to bar then Republican governor Mitt RomneyMitt Romney from appointing a replacement for Kerry's seat. Republicans in the legislature at the time argued feverishly to add an amendment to the bill that would allow the Governor to appoint an interim replacement until a special election could be held for a replacement elected by the people.

The amendment was shot down by the vast Democratic legislative majority. NO! There was no allotment for the Governor and Senator Kerry's seat would remain VACATE until the special election. No further discussion was ever raised by the Governor, or the Legislature.

Ironically, the strength behind the 2004 bully move was Ted KennedyTed Kennedy.

Flash forward, Kennedy dies, and Governor Patrick has no authority to appoint a Senatorial replacement. That is, until the Big "O" wants his 60 seats and pushes back on one of his back pocket liberal States. Governor Patrick tells the AP that President Obama personally discussed the need to change the State's Senate succession law along with much added push from White House aids to assist in replacing the late Kennedy's seat with a proponent of the administration's health care push.

The Republicans in Massachusetts are right to be angry. Republicans in this entire Country have a right to be angry. If Democrats are not angry, well that's just wrong. Over-riding laws for political gain is wrong. Reversing laws that you changed for political purposes in the first place because doing so allows for added personal political gain is hypocritical.

Reforming health care in this Country is going to extremes. Bending truths, bending laws and breaking people. The Democratic Party is out of line, out of control and they have reached a new low in proving that they care less about our Constitution and more about their own agendas and Massachusetts personified this with their actions this week. They have no argument anymore - they've proven they are definitely NO better than their rivals.

It is not only hypocritical – it's disgusting. Many of the State's elected officials are the very same people who raised hell of the law bending of the prior administration.

Just more of the same old, same old. No hope for change in this State.
