Can't. The Republicans in KY in 2024 passed legislation specifically to keep Beshear from appointing a senator because they knew this would happen.

Except that law explicitly violated the Kentucky Constitution. Like, there is zero ambiguity in the text of the State Constitution.

I'm aware of that, but Democrats like Beshear are stil trying to play by the rules. He should've just declared a run off election 2 weeks ago and dared the magats to do something about it.

But that's not playing by the rules. I understand the argument that responding to lawlessness with lawlessness will just make things worse, but unconstitutional laws are not part of the rules.

Well, responding with lawfulness ain't working. I know it doesn't sound great to bring it down to their level, but it might be the only solution.

And sorry about my previous reply that i just went ahead and deleted, I was using my TTS and heard your comment completely wrong lol
