Obligatory

In other news, apparently Mitch McConnell is at death's fuckin door.

Everyone in my notes right now:

#anyway. jokes aside. we cannot allow a precedent of 'technically alive' politicians still holdung office.v #when the orange bites it his people will absolutely latch the fuck onto that it it's an option. #do not go fucking gentle#if you live in kentucky literally just call his office and ask if he's conscious. it is your right to have a cogent senator.

The reason why McConnell is currently ambiguously dead is because KY law was recently amended to state that a vacant senate seat must be filled by a special election, but previously, the duty to fill a vacant senate seat was by appointment of the current governor. The present KY gov is a Democrat, and has the means to challenge the special elections rule in the state supreme court, under the argument that it is unconstitutional to governor's power as outlined in the KY state constitution. So given the risk of a Dem appointee who would become an incumbent to challenge, or a special election race in the middle of the Mamdani Endorsement DemSoc run on congressional seats, McConnell will remain in quantum superposition between life and death until there is no longer a risk of his republican power being challenged.
