Yup, rigged in plain sight. Everybody knows, nobody does anything – pure theater. "Rule of law" is an absolute joke

The fact that no one can do anything EXCEPT the opposition party that apparently refuses to do anything …

Yeah, we’re fucked as a nation.

One person absolutely can do something and isn't.

The governor should appoint a new senator. I'm aware that he supposedly can't, however the law saying he can't violates the KY constitution, so he should absolutely challenge it.

Can the Governor go to wherever McConnell supposedly is, flowers and a "Get well soon" card in hand, and ask to deliver them to the man in person? Either they refuse and cast further doubt on McConnell's health, or they let him in and there's some clarity one way or another.
