Would *I* Lie???
WEll, well, well. Here we are, at the axis of our collective destiny's.
I had mentioned this before in comments but I think it deserves it's own thread.
With the VP as the Senate tie-breaker, and the senate split evenly, and SO MUCH BADLY NEEDED AMERICA DESTROYING LEGISLATION IN THE WORKS.... leaving the next senator selection up to chance would be...er... unforesightful.
That being said, especially after the supreme court justice getting mirked in the twilight of the obama years.. it is not implausible to think that some dark actors wouldn't make wet work attempts on Senators that could tip the scales... y'know, "for the children."
When obama was elected the governor (blacovich? went to prison trying to sell it..) got to pick his replacement.. a HAND PICKED SENATOR... I believe this is the case in many states (maybe all?) when there is a mid-session vacancy...
Who knows which states if not all the Governor picks the replacement?
Next we cross reference those with states ( if not all) that have Democratic governors and a Republican Senator or Senators.
These senators should have this in mind. Some of them probably don't. But these ones are ESPECIALLY prone to attention of bad actors. I'm fairly surprised it didn't happen earlier in the session.. but we're not out of the woods yet. Anytime our democracy is hanging on by so thin of margin the commies are sure to try 'night of the long knives' type approaches. Can you imagine if 2 or 3 were mirked or died suddenly under mysterious circumstance... yeeeeks, it would not be good...
