If his condition comes out before the 3rd, it will be a fascinating Supreme Court case. Can someone who is functionally brain dead on life support hold public office?

My money is on 6-3 Yes-as long as they have an R next to their name. But "reviewing the case" until after the 3rd is is a strong contender.

    I hope Mitch McConnell has a painful, lonely death.

    But really, how could tell if he’s actually dead or looking like he’s look for the past 10 years? Throw him down the reactor pit already.

    I genuinely would not be surprised if Republicans started a legal case arguing that there's no law that being alive is a requirement for a senator and dragged it out for years

    In either case, Republican or Democratic power grab, the voters of Kentucky are deprived of a meaningful say in who represents them.

    Disagree. In both cases, KY residents get senate representation, and in both cases it’s fair. Only in the current situation, where McConnell is dead but not dead on paper, are the voters unrepresented.

    It’s basically the movie Dogma, but the demon is McConnell.
