Hardly.Bulls***. You're using logical fallacies to try to justify your accusing me of doing the very thing you're doing. If you're going to beat on me while giving another poster a free pass, then you have to admit that you are guilty of the same thing.
Judge To Rule Before Noon Today On Massachusetts Senate Appointment | TPMDC
The GOP is seeking to nullify the appt, on the grounds that Gov Patrick didn't have the authority to declare an emergency, in order to make the appt.
I was expressing my displeasure over "Truth Detector's" (LOL) double standard and selective outrage. Sheesh.
And if you're going to lecture me and give TD a free pass, then you'd have to agree that the "selective outrage" label also applies to you.
Actually, the rules were not changed. The appointment is only temporary, until the special election, which will be early next year. They WERE going to change the rules, but took so much heat over it that they decided to compromise, which was the smart thing to do. After all, it was THEY who took away the governor's power to appoint, when Romney was governor.

Judge Rules In Favor Of Kirk Senate Appointment, Against Massachusetts GOP Challenge | TPMDC
So, I guess Kirk will be sworn in then? I wonder if he already has been sworn in...
I love the farcical argument that this was an "emergency." :rofl
Another new low precedent set; a Governor can declare political expediency as a State constitutional emergency. :rofl
The Alice in Wonderland world we now live in just gets curioser and curioser.
"Former Republican governor Mitt Romney used the emergency provision 14 times, Galvin added, including to increase the boating speed limit in Charlton and to change the office of town moderator in Milton."

I see that you continue showing a propensity for the absurd in trying to equate partisanship hackery with actual emergency declarations by Governors.
Rather than just cutting and pasting statements from a blog site, why don’t you provide the actual language contained in those “alleged” emergency declarations and illustrate how they are purely partisan in nature and have NOTHING to do with an actual emergency.
Then, if Romney did indeed engage in using the declarations for purely partisan purposes, shouldn't he be denounced just as this Democrat is? You are free to coherently defend the argument you are attempting to foist that because a Republican did it, it is okay for Democrats to do it; that is your argument right?
You truly are a caricature of the reasons morons like Obama can get elected. :rofl
:lamo Really? The Boston Globe is a blog site?
And changing the office of town moderator, or lifting the boating speed limit are both emergencies, but an empty Senate seat when major legislation that will affect state residents is being voted on is not?

Not to mention the profound hypocrisy and irony coming from a party that promised the American people more honesty, transparency and fiscal responsibility if they are elected.
The state GOP had no legal basis for their argument, according to the linked articles.
Wrong again; a judge determined that they did not show precedent to support their argument. That in itself is hysterical in that it is highly unlikely that prior to this naked partisan hypocrisy, any Governor in the past declared the appointment of a Senator a State emergency in order to ensure a filibuster proof margin to pass universal Government managed healthcare.
But hey, you go on drinking that partisan kool-aid dude; don't let me stop you.
:rofl
Boston.com and the story you linked was more of an editorial than a story which also contains a section for viewer’s comments; just click the comment section if you want to see what a "blog" site is or look up the definition.
No surprise here that you seldom bring any facts to the debate nor can you support the copy and paste you used without any factual links to the "emergency" provisions Romney invoked to prove your desperate claim that they constitute the purely partisan efforts by these Democrats.
The notion that appointing a Senate seat constituting a State emergency is beyond farcical; but that is indeed the new low standard being set by Democrats.
How trite that you think reading an opinion column on a blog page of the Boston Globe constitutes facts.
Like I said earlier, find the emergency declarations themselves and then prove they were purely political; then if they were, illustrate how it is a coherent argument to suggest that hyper partisanship by one group is justified by another groups hyper partisan actions.
Again, I don't expect any honest answers or efforts from you; that is not your forte'.

Let's get this straight.
The elected representatives of the State voted to change the law.
The majority of voters in the State approved of changing the law.
The Supreme Court in the State said it was all legal.
And still the right wingers cry and whine like little babies!
